Play is an important part of learning to move better. Here's three simple and fun exercise moves you can try out. gmb.io//permission-to-play/
If you live in the Western world, you probably spend most of your day sitting, and it doesn't take much to be considered "active" - you just need to drag yourself to the gym a few times a week. Well, if that's your idea of "movement" there's something really important missing from your life.
These 3 movements will help you get started with the concept of play, or movement exploration.

Nice progressional outline! Definitely more fun than standard pushups.

[@seanjmoran]

Something that I love about the idea behind this is to PLAY and have fun! Don't be concerned with names, sets, reps, etc. What better way to exercise than to have fun AND be challenged?! Thank you GMB for sharing!

[@gmbfit]

Thank you ! Really happy to hear that I could help out.

[@dasfreshyo]

I love your tutorials! I've been teaching for years and you helped me break things down with this creative play!

[@superseamstersewingshow514]

Thanks! great video!

[@muhammadjawad1864]

These are great videos! I use these activities to play around with my one year old kid and he loves it! Thanks for introducing me to these movements and helping me in becoming a better father!

[@gmbfit]

Glad you are playing with your kid! Playing is pretty darn important :)

[@FredoBernardo]

thank you! i think this is one of my top fave gmb vids of mine!

[@PotHat]

This is A LOT OF FUN.

[@gmbfit]

TopHat I think so too :)

[@RobHudsonfitnessbydesign]

Wow, great video! Thanks for sharing great movement.

[@jeanjohansson2853]

Love all of your tutorials, very good exercises and very well explained, thank you very much :)

[@ryanhurst3068]

Thanks Daniel. And you're very right about these being more fun than pushups.

[@Prithvi92raj]

Awesome Ryan... Gonna do this daily as a morning routine...

[@ryanhurst3068]

Definitely give it a try. Loads of fun.

[@xsuk]

Looks really fun! I'm gonna play this sometimes.

[@Coffee7573]

Thumbs up all the way! Tq GMB I feel my whole body muscle engaged properly after trying this. Dont underestimate this flow. I really dont understand why there are even thumb downs

[@vladimirrakic]

This looks like lots of fun, i am going to try it after work today.

[@EricM134]

Excelente video.

[@ryanhurst3068]

Great! have fun with it.

[@thedomesticdude]

Thanks for the introduction to the bear! I now do this every morning when I wake up and I recently purchased your focused flexibility program. The stretching just builds and builds. It's kind of incredible.

[@Diyaryo]

So glad you are doing well with FF! Please keep us updated on your progress!

[@Alvin1967]

Gracias , vamos a probarlo

[@LiftYourselfFitness]

great video!

[@ryanhurst3068]

Thanks!

[@wolfensden]

I like how you say '' alot of fun'' when you really mean Hard Work! :)

[@harold3able]

These are some great bear variations. The bear has helped my running a lot. The strengthening and stretching it gives help both the warm up and cool down. Can't recommend it enough.

[@ThaddeusVilain]

Harold, thanks for sharing! I have been worried about losing out on cardio time from doing Elements, it's awesome to hear from someone who's doing running alongside locomotive exercises :D

[@JeanLucJLA]

Having fun is fun! :D

[@ryanhurst3068]

Great! I'm sure they'll enjoy it! :)

[@jeremiahbenefield2263]

Great

[@misserindancefit]

Surprisingly difficult, especially #3. Crazy fun though. Am going to make my dance students do this!

[@riddyck]

Gonna take this opportunity to tease Ryan about those elbows and how far out they are flared. Just goes to show everyone has changes to make and learning to do.

[@gmbfit]

No! Ryan is perfect and has never done anything wrong. You're now blocked from all our social media accounts... hahahahahaha

[@ryanhurst3068]

It is fun. : )

[@adrianocarpinelli3433]

Hi GMB! Is this the type of movements we can experience with your Elements course? Do you have others videos like this? Thanks

[@gmbfit]

I recommend checking through our videos on our channel :) Yes you will find these movements and others in elements also in our Vitamin course!

[@adrianocarpinelli3433]

Thanks ;)

[@ryanhurst3068]

Ha! Nice: : )

[@frozen_tortus]

Every time I see this guy I feel bad as I was talking something how he looks like he dont even lift, and I love his videos now.

[@wallrider73]

Is it necessary to have legs straight and feet flat for movement 1? I am not flexible enough for that yet.

[@gmbfit]

chuck farley I think you answered your own question :). It takes time play with the movement and as your flexibility improves so will the movement. The main concern is keep your butt up nice and high in the air.

[@t8music]

Is that a mat you're on? What kind and where can I get one for my house?

[@gmbfit]

It's a puzzle floor matting that you can find on amazon.

[@ryanhurst3068]

You betcha.

[@Ktok74]

Look at little baby young you, Ryan.

[@gmbfit]

at one point, long ago, even ryan was young

[@siwlaurent7864]

I.LOVE.YOUUUUUUUU

[@gmbfit]

:)

[@gmbfit]

Hahaha, funny how often they end up being the same thing ;)

[@sunglee3935]

Is this from the elements program?

[@gmbfit]

The video isn't from Elements, but Elements does use these movements.

[@sunglee3935]

GMB Fitness ok , thanks. These moves are very fun and the bent arm and the third move give me good workout. I’m gonna get the elements and the integral strength programs because I like doing body weight exercise instead of lifting weights. I want to work my way up to the paralletts and the rings programs.

[@gmbfit]

Cool! You'll learn lots of variations for these moves :)

[@nasri]

Tutorial starts at 1:13

[@ryanhurst3068]

Hahaha! Hilarious.

[@ryanhurst3068]

Sad that most people nowadays don't/can't.

[@turkeyhumper534]

Movement #1- I'm a beeeeaaar!!! Movement #2- I'm an iguana bitch! Don't look at me while I crawl around like a crazy ass

[@nzraya]

OMG it's BABY RYAN WITH NO BEARD AND NO JEANS

[@gmbfit]

hahahahahaha, tfw your past catches up to you...

[@aarongarcia224]
