There are times where you just feel restless and just have this level of hyper-active energy that needs to be let out in order to relax and fall asleep. At about midnight or so last night I just had this burst of energy that I needed to get out. While watching a wildlife documentary series I had the urge to do some Animal Movements. Got into my Animal Dice Game and did double reps per animal, took a breather and walked around if needed to recover but kept going for maybe 20 minutes or so.
I wouldn't say this is the first choice for most people and doing something else might work better for you but my instincts kicked in and just needed to move around and burn off some energy. Felt incredible afterwards and had a big endorphin high. I've always been a night owl so something like this isn't uncommon for me but it's been a while since I did Animal Moves in order to calm down my body.
Not only does this burn up quite a bit of energy, it can stirrup some decent calorie burning throughout the rest of the night as you sleep. To me, it's a fun way to make sure I don't feel like I'll be tossing and turning all night which does happen often and getting in some exercise and a cold shower does have some great benefits.
Animal Exercise is not just great for conditioning and developing functional strength but it also is a great calorie burner, creating greater HGH levels and the ability to wear you down in a positive way. If you ever need a way to get rid of that excess energy (other than the real fun thing to do), get up and move like a wild animal until you feel you've had enough. Be resourceful and do the best you can to get yourself to sleep well.
