65 years young with heart disease, myopathy, serious spinal stenosis. This looks like a great series of movements. Excellent demonstration as well. FInally, reminds me of wrestling practice and doing umpteen sit-outs. Of course, I was a teenager and thses movements are harder because of being off the mat. thnx

[@anniwilson2534]

For anyone wondering what QM stands for its Quadrupedal Movement.

[@indiabilly]

Feel very proud that I can do this fully- not for long but i can!

[@TappBrothers]

Awesome! Doing it fully is impressive. If you can do 30 secs to 1 min of this, that's great 💪

[@lafamillecarrington]

Yeah - I thought I'd never be able to do it but (with some wobbling) I got all the way round. You're never too old to start!

[@fattums3471]

Seriously check out this program! They over deliver to help you progress from wherever you are physically. I got the Primal course at 50 and fat. Now I'm surprisingly agile, mobile, more fit and feel like I'm getting more anti-fragile as I get older if that makes sense. Plus the basic exercises feel more like play than working out. Reminds me of bouncing around the living room when I was a kid except Mom doesn't get mad.

[@TappBrothers]

Wow thanks so much for sharing you're experience with our program! Super cool to hear. Props on you for taking action, staying consistent, and accomplishing some serious life goals. Keep this going! And you're spot on, this is what I love about these type of exercises, they are a lot of fun!

I tried this from a previous video. Must have been from him also. I was laughing so hard trying to get everything right, mostly it was the laughing that helped my tummy. I have to try this again. Definitely going to check his program.

[@shaynaformity1384]

Thank you So Much for the specific instructions, especially where in my shoulder to press in the first movement. I've tried this move 2 or 3 times in the past week, and it was always interesting and a little awkward for my right shoulder. But this morning, it clicked in. I felt yeah, this is it! Then I went for a run, and oh my, was that different! That little bit of internal rotation had been constricting my chest, just a little bit, not enough that I'd even notice, but activating that muscle opened up my whole right side. During my run just now, I felt like my upper body was floating above my hips. Booyah! Running is even easier and more fun. Isn't it amazing how some little thing can change the whole experience?

[@KrisHubbard-w5x]

[@2P2G5C]

I starting incorporate crawls in my training a few years back and for some reason never do them inverted (crab). The flip is akin to basic breakdance technique. 😎 I always tell people about crawls if they don't want go to the gym or are traveling. I'll have to remember crabs as well 👍

[@TappBrothers]

That’s awesome! Same, these exercises are great for in-home and traveling. Yup, the crab adds an extra element and fun to the crawl. Thanks for sharing and keep moving 💪👊

[@guadalupesalinasjr.4887]

In most parks and school playgrounds, I've noticed the removal of the monkey bars and rings. That was the most effective tools to keep us kids active. Slides aren't going to do anything for us.

This looks like the training for games of ultimate Twister! Haha! But in all seriousness, thank you so much for breaking this move down. I’ve been wanting to learn how to do this and now I can learn and practice with your instructions.

[@TappBrothers]

I used to love twister haha. Sure thing! Glad you liked the vid. Yeahhhh lets gooo! 💪

[@nccrchurchunusual]

Great info- hey I can do the ez bird dog. But My fitness level is Too old Worn Out to place such stress on my wrist & shoulder & my ankles are shot! I was an aging person doing weights & calesthenics until long covid (&menpause at same time) wiped me out for months & atrophied my muscles & stamina. Have not been able to get back...

[@shaynaformity1384]

You might look into Dr. Mindy Pelz about how to address menopausal issues. She specializes in hormones. And absolutely don't do too much exercise with long covid. Low and slow, if at all. I wish you the best!

[@HoboGardenerBen]

Reminds me of Scott Sonnon's Intu Flow

[@louisfrancescon4266]

Work through shoulder surgery, but still able to do it. The old athletic ability is coming back.

[@home8630]

I noticed that you are not straightening your legs part 1, keeping them bent as you lift. Is there a reason for the constant bent knee?

[@johntan9290]

It is just an underswitch with support on opposite limb

[@dogie8c]

Do you recommend these workouts for people dealing with Bulging disc issues (such as L5/S1)?

[@shaynaformity1384]

Bulging discs can have varying levels of severity, so it's a good idea to ask someone who has actually looked at your scans, like your doctor or maybe physical therapist.

[@TappBrothers]

Yes I agree with shaynaformity, you always want to seek out a doctor or physical therapist to be cleared for new exercise if you have bulging discs or injuries. If you are cleared, then I’d recommend going very light and just sticking with the bird dog at the beginning. Also work on core bracing to minimize movement of the spine during certain exercises to avoid injury. This will help you build strength and provide more protection for your spine. Both of these techniques are also used by Dr. Stuart McGill to help his patients with back pain. He has a great book called back mechanic, that I recommend too. Train safe and keep moving! 💪

[@demej00]

The only problem for me with these exercises is that I cannot bend my toes so radically as that will trigger gout attack. But the other stuff w/o the toe bending works for me.

[@mariap.894]

May I ask what brace the ankle means please... Thank you in advance❤

[@TatyanaRodda]

Copy his position with the ball of your toes on the floor and your ankles are braced, (ie not just relaxed with the top/front side of your foot resting on the floor).

[@TappBrothers]

Hey! Apologize for any confusion. You are reffering to the QM crawl section right? Yes, as Tatyana mentioned below, I mean to flex the ankle and plant the bottom of the toes on the mat. Verses extending the ankle where the toes are pointed and top of the foot is lying flat on the mat.

[@milosbabovic8221]

10 out of 15 mins effective of this exercise once in before nune! Besides of strength benefits, the movement cleanse yor stomach, you go to toalet in a very first 5,6mins..

[@alyjuma9960]

Do You have any tips to solve the wrist pain when putting weight on it? Putting My wrist in the pushup position is painful/uncomfortable right now...

[@TappBrothers]

Sorry to hear about the wrist pain. It's quite common for many of our students when first getting started. Many of us are on our computers and phones all day and have lost a lot of strength and flexibility with the wrist. Here's 3 things we reccommend. #1: Give your wrist a break. If you are typing on a computer or phone a lot, try to get off the typing or holding the device every 30 mins to 1 hour and allow the wrist to take a break. #2: Increase strength & flexibility with the wrist. Here's a video my brother and I shot a while back (I had super long hair ha) that goes over simple exercises to improve flexibility and strength for the wrists: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emHdYYubg7xpptE #3: Make sure your diet is good. A poor diet will make everything worse. Simple joint problems can take longer to heal, and joints can easily become inflammed and painful to use. Avoid ultra processed foods especially refined sugar. Consume more Whole Foods (fresh produce etc). And stay hydrated :)

[@shaynaformity1384]

While you're working on the tips above, Move with Mya has a video titled How to Make Animal Flow Easier, which describes how to use props to relieve stress on your joints. I wish you the best!

[@theenzone1420]

It's a basic break dance move. I used to do it when I was younger. 😅

[@TappBrothers]

Niceee! We used to do a little break dancing but just small stuff, mainly the power moves. Good times 👊

[@froman1960]

It says THIS primal move but yet, we get a bunch of them. Maybe the title should've been THESE? Was it a typo?

[@ct810]

The QM flip is it. The rest builds you up to it.

[@jewel7553]

I did two of the QM i got dizzy

[@TappBrothers]

Haha yeah it can take some time to adjust. Start slow and then after a few days you should notice improvement with the dizziness

[@butchgreene]

Too many surgeries from having too much fun in life but I’ll work on em.

[@chopperskier]

Get in contact with RFK Jr, and get this implemented in America's schools. This feels like 5 minutes of basic warm ups and I bet kids would have fun with this! Make American Healthy Again!

[@HishamDaoud]

👍

[@ACarpenter89]

You explain the exercise but you didn't really explain how to program it

[@TappBrothers]

Good point! I should of added that in there. To program a move like this, I use it in two ways. #1: As a Light Warm Up. (1x day for 1-5 mins) For activating the joints and muscles, nothing strenuous. Go light. Go through each of the levels as shown in the video. #2 Integrated In A Hard Workout. (1-3x a week). This is for pushing and challenging your body. I like to put this move into a simple circuit with 3 other exercises. An example of this would be 30 seconds QM Flip, 30 secs bodyweight squat, 30 secs hang on bar, 30 sec alternating lunges. And then repeat those 4 exercises in rounds for 15-20 mins. This will be more intense than the light warm up session. This is similar to the workouts we use in our Primal Fitness Program. We like to keep it simple, fast, and hit the full body.

[@ACarpenter89]

@TappBrothers hey, thanks for answering that. Most people do videos like this and intentionally leave the programming stuff out because they want you to buy their program. You were willing to answer the question anyway, which put your heads above the rest and if I save up enough money, I'd love to buy your program

[@TappBrothers]

@@ACarpenter89 Sure thing! Appreciate the kind words. If you add me on IG and send me a message referencing your YT username, I'll make sure to hook you up with the best offer we have going

[@johnrice3882]

It wouldn't fix a rotator cuff injury that's been hampering my exercises for over 10 bloody years after countless visits to countless physiotherapists. I think it's time to give up

[@jd6809]

Crossover Symmetry and upside down kettle bell presses are MAGIC for shoulder health.

[@artharrison9586]

I’ve actually got a similar issue, right shoulder, probably rotator but brushed off by a doctor. I’m 62 and I’ve started a fairly rigorous exercise program involving some calisthenics, some Pilates and a weight training routine. I’ve actually gained weight (but it’s muscle). The shoulder still hurts occasionally but it’s generally only when I don’t exercise. I definitely wouldn’t write this program off.

[@dutube99]

you did the resistance band to doorknob exercises? That's what fixed mine.

[@raiklaub975]

all depends on how severe it is and what the reason is. If it's a tear in the tendons, it may stay and you have to get along with it. In some cases it can be operated on. If it's provoked by muscular imbalance you can do certain exercises. If it's e.g. supraspinatus syndrom you can have extracorporeal shock wave therapy which is highly effective. Don't give up. Do what you can do.

[@masonryjoe]

Look into stem cell therapy, great for fixing big joint problems, knee, shoulders etc.

[@weltpoesie5616]

why is it the crab, but not the beast? Anyway, these moves heal the body from everything sitting causes to our bodies.

[@TappBrothers]

Yeah beast definitely sounds cooler haha

[@kayakmaccaz9256]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@tylerpurrden]

So if i can only do the level 1 crab and QM move, you fail to explain how they transition into the full move - you just start explaining the transition from level 3 on both moves 😕

[@trapezius77]

You have to be able to reach level 3 before you can do the full, combined move.

[@tylerpurrden]

​@@trapezius77appreciate you explaining that, as the video does not

[@TappBrothers]

Apologize for any confusion. Yes as trapezius77 mentioned, if you can only do level 1 for both moves, you will keep training those moves until you can reach level 3. Then once you've mastered those two, you will combine for the full QM Flip.

[@miray1739]

part 2 looks like part of Russian dance

[@davidpeightal4918]

The background sound (music?) is almost unbearable. Wish I had a way to turn it off.

[@djdusted6485]

[@TappBrothers]

Let’s goooo 🤙

[@dyseroll012]

what is the evidence that 'this primal move fixes everything'?

[@artharrison9586]

Nothing fixes everything. But the reality is that, if you train and tone your body in gradual increments, you can build up the necessary muscles and tone/stretch the tendons and ligaments to a point where you’re much less likely to become injured during daily exercise. Over time you reduce the strains and injuries that happen when people age and maintain balance and strength later into life.

[@turntablesrockmyworld9315]

I was doing this 30 years ago.

[@kriskhaira]

Everytime I see someone using the word "primal" to refer to a move, I'm quite skeptical. In this case, there's an assumption that our hunter-gatherer ancestors moved this way or even hung from bars (in the opening clip), when based on evolutionary science, we intentionally moved away from crawling and moving like other animals - whether primates or other mammals. We definitely didn't move like crabs. Picking up stuff, swinging them around and sprinting are far more effective than this.

[@thebodykeepsthescore2828]

Sprinting, lifting stuff, and throwing, plus these types of movement are all great. I do it all. But I never describe it as primal or animal flow. It's just simply human movement. Climbing and crawling about is in our dna though! We do actually come from the trees if you go far back enough

[@kriskhaira]

@@thebodykeepsthescore2828 We're still very different from tree-climbing primates. It's best to make use of our unique biological traits. We share 50% of our DNA with fungi. That doesn't mean we should spend time moving (or not moving) like one.
