My first video on primal movements did quite well and got a great response from you guys, so I decided I'll make a playlist out of primal movement (I have a lot of playlists going now, eh?). So this next installment is a list of 20 different natural movement exercises that are approachable for just about anyone.
I've learned a lot of what I know about movement training from Animal Flow, a program by Mike Fitch from Gobal Bodyweight Training: animalflow.com/. However, some of the movements in this video are from other sources as well besides Animal Flow.
To use this video, watch the exercises repeatedly and try them for yourself. Don't force anything and risk injury - simply do your best to accomplish the movement or position without any strain or pain. As you do movement training you'll notice your mobility and stability improving gradually. The more movement practice you do, the better you'll get.
I hope this video helps. As always, drop a like if you'd be so kind and subscribe if you want to learn more!

[@FitAfter50]

I just Tweeted on how as we age we should start concentrating on movements. Benching 1000 pounds is great, so is running a 5 minute mile but hey won't matter if we cannot get up of the couch, tie our shoes, etc.

[@MinusTheGym]

PowerWeight Training Agreed! I learned the same thing when I switched from weightlifting to bodyweight exercise. Didn't realize how poor my mobility was until I needed it.

[@FitAfter50]

@@MinusTheGym I am still learning that. At 48 I was still able to run a solid sub 6 minute mile easily but after long run workout I could barely walk. Had to put an end to it. Started lifting, stretching, moving, etc. While I miss running I feel 10 years younger now.

[@Nikitinale]

PowerWeight Training you mean to focus more on flexibility?

[@giantsofold6567]

As a 20 year old I used to run up to 50 miles a week and gym every other day...now at 38 having done very little training the last ten years until last year when I decided to take up kick boxing I can vouch this is sound advice haha. It's taken me nearly a year to get to a point where I can sit cross legged for more than 5 minutes

[@FitAfter50]

@@giantsofold6567 nice. I am thinking about doing a martial art of some sort. I think it would be fun. Also, plan here it to do some more open water swimming this summer. Fun, zero impact activity.😁 Former Power2Weight, now @FitAfter50

I'd like some full primal movement routine videos, start to finish that we can follow along with

[@niknabeelah7084]

Is this the same guy doing primal movement at the beach? That was beautiful.

[@fitness60plus52]

The (usual) added value of your videos is that you are never in a hurry, that makes spectators at their ease. I been watching the very same positions and flows for one year, performed by other trainers, but everything looked so complicated. No surprise you got favorable feedbacks. All hail, Mr Minus "Fitch" The Gym! ;-)

[@David-rp2ms]

Thanks, I was waiting for this Well done like always

[@Carmine416]

This was a super helpful video! Thank you for the short and thorough breakdown🙏

[@yellowjacket7023]

Your shirt is excellent. This video was exactly what I needed. After 6 months away from calisthenics I've been trying to pick a good assortment of movements to reestablish my strength and Mobility at the beginning of every workout. I've been watching at least 2 of your videos every day since I subscribed. Thank you for your work.

[@aaronmaxim]

Been doing these as my dynamic warm-up before hockey games. Gotta admit it really gets me loose. Better than my old warm-up. Thank you for this great video.

[@angelikialbanis9809]

Such a great video. Thank you for all this great information

[@josenoelteh69]

Amazing tutorial! These are very illuminating and mobility-enhancing movements. I’ll try to create a simple flow and go from there. Thanks heaps! Cheers!

[@realworldmom]

Thank you for this video. I was originally looking at primal movements and this is by far the best video because it shows me a lot of positions I didn’t know existed.

[@ifoundthistoday]

great video.. what I like is that you show us without all the "don't do this or that if you can't" .. what would be nice is if you can do a follow along routine with these movements thx

[@jakehayes1345]

most excellent! These are all great and you are a great explainer man! I tried a few and will need to work on them. I need to start simple and basic.. you expalin there well. Loaded beast to wave unload feels GREAT!

[@sephfcuoctasphere1978]

Any plans on making more primal movement videos? Great channel!

[@ImranKhan-sj5ji]

Awsome video

[@taylorj328]

My man moves like a video game character 🤯 At one point I was sure it had to be slo-mo and checked the cars but they were moving normally hahah. Awesome example of how much strength and control this can give!

[@jamesgibson4789]

I hurt my left ankle running down a hill over New Year’s. I think it’s posterior tibial tendinitis. When I get into the deep squat my left ankle dives inward and has a sharp pain. Will turning my ankle outwards (straight) and enduring the pain help me in the long run? Your channel is absolutely awesome. Not only are you an accomplished in your life, but your character also comes through in your presentation. 🙏

[@maxsobeshchuk8954]

Pushed the Like immediately after trying the first one :)

[@Nahulanham]

Nice. I like to do all those every day. I also do Caporeira kicking and some of their flips. I'm eighty.

[@tyshasmith3792]

I'm going to be 53 next month and I was looking for something to build strength and mobility I think I found it. Thanks 👍

[@AJ-cs3cx]

First got introduced to animal movements like these via Vahva fitness channel. Definitely good to incorporate / balance with calisthenic routines

[@cagri5360]

I enjoyed both videos a lot because there is no such clearly labeled primal movement videos. I put a mobility day similar to a stretch day between my strength training days!

[@lsbevo9]

I love the lizard crawl.

[@MisterSquirtle]

Great timing, I just recently started taking mobility more seriously. Any chance you could make a video where you show an entire flow of movements chained together? Would be super useful because the large number of different movements is a bit overwhelming and it's hard to come up with a good routine. Awesome video, thanks for uploading!

[@drschong]

Is there a workout that I can follow along with… and not just individual moves that I have to put together myself. Thank you

[@marekjustus]

This is actually a fantastic idea... learn few movements and create your own unique workout flow... I absolutely must do that!

[@JuanRamirez-jm9bp]

Thanks for this very interesting video! Crocodile and lizard are not easy animals to cope with!

Cris Avik thanks! And I use iMovie. It's simple yet fairly powerful and came stock with my MacBook.

[@vladimirpodkamensky9874]

Still waiting for more primal movement videos! :d

[@ronaldcastrovega5618]

Yes, I too thought this was Jonh Sins

[@EJO_VZN]

In your other primal movement video you do beast reach and your knee goes up to the same side arm, but in this one it goes to the opposite arm. Is this just a variation, or is there a mistake in one of the videos? Thanks

[@skillcape99]

i´m trying to get flexebility to do calesthenics and yoga properly, my hamstrings are very thight my shoulders and my band, and my arms, do you have any exercise to do to straight my arms again? i dont feel any pain, just can straight them up, and dont know what to do really.. :(

[@gregoryrozek9411]

0:30 static beast

[@cindyleegalyean2831]

How long do you perform each movement? Or how many reps?

[@Fitz557]

Someone at 2.42 thinks there should be a cat position. Jokes aside, I find it very interesting, and I really wonder which muscles work in those positions, how it's effective... Because let's face it, doing the lizard or the crocodile looks waaaaaaaaay more fun than doing 4 sets of pushups :) Plus it reminds me of animals forms you could find in kung-fu. Soooooooo gonna check the animal flow website. Thanks a lot for your work !

[@nicktt500]

I started working on my handstand, but it's giving me lower back pain. My back is fine. I probably just need to strengthen my core. Can you please give me advice on what core exercises would be best?

[@jamesgibson4789]

Ryan, I love the crab reach, but I think I did something wrong. I think I raised my hips higher up compared to the first time I did it the other day. The lowest of my lower back, left and right, is sore and tight. Is there a rule of thumb on how high to raise the hips?

[@alexander2685]

❤

[@greenranger3000]

Wow

[@mahathirmukti6695]

How long should i do for each flow?

[@pmccarthy001]

What's the name of the cat? I don't think I've ever seen crocodile before. I'll have to try that one.

[@DogDog173]

when bears walk they move their same-side limbs simultaneously (unlike primates). That is, they move their right paw and right foot forward at the same time, and then their left. Isn't the bear walk in the primal movement supposed to mimic this behaviour? BTW this is the bestest primal movement video ever!

[@euniceveloso2954]

Very Nice for beginer! Try make a vídeo with a sequence... I find very hard the moves that envolve push-ups ( arm strength: crocodile, lizzard ( simply magestic)....

[@MinusTheGym]

I teach a full beginner’s sequence in this video. I hope you enjoy it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp3ElZiobbWHo6s

[@sidninja9518]

Hey Ryan I can currently do around 12 push ups with good form. How can I get i to 20-25?

[@MinusTheGym]

Sid Ninja grease the groove, my friend. That's been the best way for me to increase reps. Do several/many submaximal sets throughout the day. Practicing the movement regularly without exhausting the muscles will help you fire your neurons faster for more power, strength and endurance on the exercise you practice. Watch this video for more details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXjWmKuGhJ5lrNk

[@alank4558]

I do reps of 6 and rest 15-30 seconds, repeat.

[@Andrew-it7fb]

I can confirm that greasing the groove works. I was doing around the same and now I regularly do sets of 25 with a max of 30.

This is the Animal Flow course, are you AF instructor?

[@MinusTheGym]

Moe Awada some of it is Animal Flow but some of it is other movements not used in AF. I mention that in the video description and promote the AF course there (I love that program!). And I'm a certified personal trainer through ACE (Amercian Council on Exercise) but no, not an AF instructor.
