Quite frankly I find this really inspiring. I believe that this is the perfect example of true fitness; a human being able to move freely and with ease in the natural environment that we originally inhabited. Essentially what i'm getting at is that I think it's truely amazing.
I run,weight train,cycle,swim alot.Tried this.Killed me.
OMG! you make the best videos ever! I always feel motivated after watching them
Mike: I just took a class in London with Marlo, who was extolling the virtues of your animal movement exercises, and we used a lot of this in class - loved it!
Wow! so extra exceptional as usual by Equinox! Loved it!
The animal forms are one component of the entire Animal Flow. The practice is all about fluidity and efficiency of movement.
Nice, glad to hear it! Most movement based programs compliment each other. Keep it up!
Superb balance and control. It looks like a fusion
of parkour, capoeira and yoga. Kudos!
Awesome! So glad to hear it.
This is one of the most inspiring videos for bodyweight fitness and exercise in general. I practice this style from time to time and getting more into it again. I'm not the smoothest with the flows, stretches & combos but it does smoke me within minutes and I love that. Its fun, adventurous and full of exploration of the human body. Yes the moves are similar to Ginastica Natural & Parkour, I practice Ido Portal moves as well and at my size (5'10 268 lbs.) its tough as hell but not so difficult that its frustrating. It takes practice and its up to an individual to what they want to with the exercises when they get the basics down. Mike is very good at what he does and is a very unique athlete. If it inspires you awesome, if you're gonna be an asshole than don't do it or give it shit because YOU can't do it. Enjoy what you love and have fun with it, that's the true ideal thing to look for in your fitness. There's nothing new but interpreted styles of exercise mixed together but in the end, its all suggestive to what's possible.
Nice comment- check into Mestre Xuxo's and Neguinism's stuff! Throws lots of spirit and rhythm into insanely complex moves
Great flow Mike. Looking forward to learning from you this weekend at Newport Beach!
It's great stuff, even if he does take himself very seriously (attending an Animal Flow workshop this weekend)
For the first timer ofcourse it is hard... But now im loving it! 😍
Wow, I seriously dig that, it's so awesome... I would love to try this kind of program once, too bad there's no equinox in France (not that I think I could afford but still...)
I don' t understand all the hate. Even the most fit will struggle with this. Your heart rate gets JACKED! Being on all fours and having to carry all the body weight is soooo metabolically demanding. So before you hate on a UA-cam video, try it first because I know you will like it.
Great Mike! nice flow. Just been to MovNat cert in London, nice to combine with your animal flows too!
Awesome.
Cool Exercise for Breakdance
thank you i didn't notice! :)
It's not quite as simple as that. Glad you liked the video!
Good morning America brought me here! Amazing and sexy workout!
Marlo is definitely a BEAST!
Wow!
wow!
Looking forward to working with you!
Nice Quadruple movements
I'm feeling the Capoeira!
Hey, don't worry no offense taken. I know of Ginastica Natural and Alvaro Romano, but haven't had any experience with his program. I can tell you however that I've had some trainers in my workshops (who have had a lot of experience with his program) say that the two disciplines complement each other. As do most bodyweight programs. It's all movement, it all crosses over and it's all GOOD!
A lot of BJJ practitioners love this stuff!
Dear God, human body is so amazing and beautiful!
Very primal . Like capoiera
удивительно красиво!)
This video is hot as hell!!
Reminds me of Shadezlat :)
謝謝分享男人的動物流~
Nice moves ... :)
I think this kind of workout is tought for begginers and that is not a bad thing, I can't even do a handstand yet.
So, Capoeria and Parkour. I get the workout of it, but is it really new? In either case, nice video
the filming on this was great though
You should record a video of you showing us that "proper technique".
first guy i saw doing this type of stuff was Scott Sonnon..then mr. budokon, now animal flow
0:06 bueno aquí es cuando dices! Hago lo que quieras! Lo que me pidas, wow Jajajaja 😅👏😍
It's in the information of the video.....
Equinox and Animal Flow???? Hmmm. I was a Budokon teacher at the Equinox in Lincoln Park. This seems to be inspired by natural animal movements and Rickson Gracie type exercises.
I see capoeira and yoga in there!
were you a Budokon student at some point? dancing lion, leaping leopard, rolling wave... :)
I was wondering the same thing.
FROM WHO HE DID LEARN FROM?
It's not supposed to be either, it's training like an animal! Although i do agree with you it does feel like Capoeira and parkour.
I would like to know if someone knows the title of the music....
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu warm ups!
Cool! Jaguar should be his totem....
The human body is the perfect weapon
Let me know If guys need one guy to do , gymnastics, handstands, jumping and diving rolls.
haha funny to see ur comment here, co worker told me to check this out, and I was just about to comment the same thing u did.. ol
Great Video. but kind of intimidating. Maybe an Animal Flow Light?
Animals don't typically roll around in the leafs for no reason. That is a human trait.
Nice flow, but if you want to see real forest action and sport toghether then search for "Forest jump" on Shadezlat's channel. Although this video has a nice and calming essence . Inspiring.
Laughing at this is the best exercise.
hahahaha!
I remembering doing 'animal flow' back when it was called Budokon, in 2006. So sad to continue to see people ripping other people off in the fitness industry.
BJJ
Haters everywhere! Body weight moves are great. So what if he can make some income out of it? He is a great instructor, and these "monkey moves" as you guys call, require lots of stregnth. I believe its a great and fun addition to a workout and to getting a better range of motion. If you can't do it then shut your mouth! Thumbs up for you Mike, love your videos!
Вспомнила Сдохни или умри Лапенко и не смогла досмотреть от смеха. А парень красивый!
capoeira?
Cant do it. No wilderness in proximity. Oh well.
WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CRAWLING EVERYWHERE??!?!!?!?! LMAO
vgg! :)
Need to work on your QM. I also expected much more distance from your kong vault.
Wow what a beautiful man
He better check for ticks!
Hahahaha!!!!
Человек самое совершенное животное.

After a long term and serious research on the subject 'who 'created'' 'ginastica natural' animal flow etc etc meeting people who made lots of money and listening to voices like 'i invented and they robbed from me'' and so on...i ran in to completely divided and no
He is handsome
what is happening I can't watch any of these videos
First off let me say I like a lot of your stuff...Having said that you have to admit that you have a ton of similarities to Ginastica Natural by ALVARO ROMANO who took his system from ORLANDO CANI's Bioginastica' both of which have been around a long, long time. Not trying to bash you, like I said I really like your training methods, but this video is almost identical to the Ginastica Natural commercial that Romano put up a long time ago....
Parkour isn't a specific style like capoeira and the video's "animal flow"
Im interested on learn berserker flow so i can go high on the woods an be a fucking savage
lol at that lache he does with his arms bent, and his legs spread.
I'm going to have to beat him to the mushroom patch? damn.
Hey... what guy doesn't need to sometimes build a bonfire and monkey dance in the woods with his shirt off? I know it helps me clear my head...
太牛逼
Hahaha you're welcome ;)
Whilst it's probably good exercise I can't help thinking two things: first I have never seen any animal move like that and secondly you are going to get hands that are full of splinters and covered in crap, lovely.
So much capoeira right there! but i wish it could have been done properly... hehehe im not a good capoerista but they could have hired a better stunt person for that :) I like the fact that is out doors. what happened to that??? (in general)
it doesn't HAVE TO be capoeira. It's just the human body moving the way it wishes to. Movement first capoeira (of whatever other dogma) second..
+Genaro Flores Ido
This is probably the funniest parkour wanna-be video ever.
WTF! What kind of animal is this dude supposed to be? Uuumm They are stretching it a bit for youtube(Equinox). i'm sure we all feel the same way.
Mmm... All of that was just fine with me. ;P
tarzan...
BAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHA
It's all good fun, until you live in England and the woods have a dead deer in the bush, and mud up to your ankles whist the local farmer comes out and sprays you with weed killer for being a creep..
I am seeing some beer league softball dad becoming seriously injured and this workout making his accounting job uncomfortable.
Modern day tarzan.
Why not just do Kung Fu? And why not just do BJJ? This looks like another MMA trend workouts like the Movement guy Ido Portal.
ginastica Naturale...
You know, that whole time he was crawling on that trail...... he just coulda walked
A class for EVERYONE? Hmm looks like a knee or back breaker
People will buy any bullshit as long it is sold in a nice package.
But isnt this yoga?
umm.. Ginastica Natural RIPOFF!
