I don’t get how this isn’t a workout or warmup? I personally run 100m and lift heavy 6 days a week but this is absolutely a workout. If you don’t work on simple movements like this you will pay the price as you age.. any professional coach gets you doing this before you start.
Finally the workout that feels natural. I don't need to focus to follow some strange moves and losing my breath rhythm. It just feels like I was born to do that moves .
Thx for this mate. It’s the best Primal move video I’ve found so far. Simple, steady and clear. Non of this dancey super coordinated showing off flow look at my gorgeous body on a beach shit! Just solid and achievable. Excellent. Thank you 🙏🏻
I really liked this workout, but it was hard. However, it was easier to follow than the previous one. I really liked that you explained step by step each of the movements. I am planning to repeat this routine at least once a week until I am so comfortable with the movements that I can anticipate them. Thank you so much for posting. I always wanted to include primal movements into my workouts. Let's see how far this 56 year old body can take me.
So, I came back to this today after several months of training with primal movement. It is really wonderful to see how it is easy for me to flow through the movements now. However also neat to notice that the movements still aren't "easy". It reminds me of ballet - one can become more and more proficient and expert, but even the simplest technique drills still challenge the body.
Amazing observations of the practice! Love that you notice the connection to ballet with your background. The connection increases but that doesn't necessarily make it easier...very cool observation. Thanks for sharing!
i just want to thank you so much for this. I’ve been home bound because of physical illness and even though these exercises are a bit too advanced for me, the way you constantly remind us what to focus on and what we should be feeling has allowed me to adjust the movements while remaining confident. you’ve changed how i feel about movement. it’s been something i’ve feared for so long because movement = pain and having to recover. thank you for finding fun movements that are easy to apply to our own personal abilities and thank you for taking the time to really explain and remind us what to focus on. i really appreciate the effort.
Thanks for the comment! Means a ton that this stuff has impacted you in a positive way. As someone who dealt with chronic pain for years, I can relate. It can feel like you're always running away from the pain. I invite you to focus on what you are building with your body and your movement practice...what you are moving towards. A few minutes of journaling on what you want to create with your physical experience can shift the focus to that growth oriented mindset. Let me know how this lands for you. I really appreciate this share and your support. Keep going!
I am traveling today and was feeling quite anxious about it all. Honestly, after this short session, I feel refreshed, awake and ready for the day. Love the full body connection and will keep practising that lateral monkey - definitely my favourite. x
What was impressive (to me) is that these really are "beginner level" moves, at least in terms of complexity (except for some versions of the Monkey. Really well conceived and programmed.
You are a true pro. Your instructions are clear and concise. Absolutely the best primal movement instructor ive found. I have the flexibility of an ironing board but i am improving with your workouts and they allow me to still get a fantastic workout
loved primal movements for years but I'm not really the type to make my own workouts! weren't able to find good follow along flows which fitted me until now! thanks a lot for your time and videos! ❤
I was so pleased to find your website. The first primal movement I saw on UA-cam was a group of women performing various primal movements. One movement I recognised that I could do was the spider crawl or climb. I could not follow the rest of their movements because it was too fast for me to learn. I can do the gorilla walk and duck walk. I realise primal movement is another way of doing bodyweight exercise, stretching and improving flexibility, balance, and posture. Even though I am 79 turning 80 in January 2025, I am still interested in learning various body movements to encourage people in their 50+ to own my blessing which is to have a toned strong muscular physique as an elderly person considering having congenital lung (useless right side) when I was born. Despite my disability, I can still play badminton and strength training.
This Primal movement workout for Beginners is more than perfect. I really love it! It was easy to follow, quite challenging :) My body feels happier and strong!!! I'm so glad I found you!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the workout! It arrived at the right time, I was looking for a beginner primal flow workout to put into my routine. Movements are simple and your instructions really helped me focus on the quality of my reps and to not rush through them.
This is my morning wake up routine (at 5am) with some music. Other "beginner" workouts are to.... Active to start the day. Not to offened you but I need a lazzy way to warm up and this just works for me. I have altered it a bit for my likeing but its mostly there. Added indian clubs, some stretches, and dancing, bouncing to tunes. Thank you sir.
As much as I loved the previous version, dare I say this one is even better?! I so appreciate the pace and detailed explanation of the movements. Thanks so much for sharing the enhanced version!
I did the first 25 min primal video that came up for my first time,(not this one) and instructions were very hard to understand/follow without watching. Too much flow for my begining state and too hard on the wrists-and there was 5 min of wrist warmup! THIS is very clear, very understandable, and i can do with out having to look if i need to. This will be my begining of my primal journey for a month until i am strong enough to move on. Very excited and hopeful about the changes i believe it will make to my body. Effing BRAVO man! Will be checking out other videos of yours.
Don't let the Old Man In ! Thank You for your time making this Excellent Workout I am 64 and working on this routine to connect with the Spirit of Nature in all its Glory.
Thank for you sharing your knowledge and skills, Grant! As a beginner, I found this session to be great. Previewing the next movement slowed down with your explanations during the break periods was extremely helpful. 🌟 I'm glad to see these types of videos return in a primal theme. 🐵
@@smoovmoves I'm finding this beginners program to be challenging and to me that translates as FUN. I'm a life long physical culture enthusiast in my late 60s. Different movement patterns are motivational for me. Thanks for what you do.
This is a great workout for beginners, or even for those more dladvanced wanting to add primal complementary workouts to their weekly routine. One thing I love about these workouts is that you can make it as hard as you want if you focus on squeezing and form.
Absolutely enjoyed this routine 😅 i was fascinated by the primal workout for so long and never had the courage to try it as I knew I wont be able to keep up with all those fancy fast pace workouts. So glad you put so much effort in this to encourage people to try 🍀
I’m going to record this one in case one day it has been erased like it’s predecessor. Well done Smoov! Thank you so much for guiding us with these killer moves.❤
he made a post that he had to make some videos private bc of a contract issue with using the words "animal flow", so it shouldnt be an issue with this video!
aaaahh that makes a lot of sense.... i had the same issue, i was using the other video daily until it was erased, but since i had been doing it for over a month fortunately all the moves were ingrained in my head lol... still nice to have a vid to follow along with, just makes it more motivating!! @@wrenam
I went from 100% weightlifting to Hybrid style workout Weightlifting, Gymnastic Rings and Bodyweight Calisthenics. I love it. Much more fun and my mobility is much better. Plus my strength and body asthetics has improved greatly. I am definitely going to implement these moves into my workouts. Thank you for your time and dedication. You have a new subscriber in me. Have a great day.
Small thing to point out. When you stand straigh your feet seem to point inward. Not sure if this is optical misguidance or not... if your feet point a bit inward, try to point them outward a bit in a bit of a V shape. That way you dont cut off the bloodflow to your legs since the main "cable" goes from the groin to the leg. Otherwise great video. Am.going to try this out!
Thank you, I'm trying to find exercises to help my dad to get rid of his different pains on his whole body, i feel like those exercises would be good for the joints and flexibility
Yes!!! I'm so happy you reuploaded/enhanced this workout! It has been my favourite for weeks now, the one I'm doing over and over again so I can see my progress. I'm not sure about the changes you made but I always need time to adjust to changes lol Thank you!!
Hey Sara! Thanks for the comment and support. Yes, Let me know how this one goes for you with the new movements. I’ll be posting a couple more of the beginner workouts over the next month or two
Recovering fromncold & not ready for dumbells. Thisbis a great workout..i can tell my core needs strengthening..im huffing & puffing. (This uses a different kind of strength!)
Tried for the first time. I cannot finished it, got totally exhausted at 19.00 minutes. I love it, looking forward being able to survive till the end! Thanks for this challenge!! 😅
Great contribution to the primal workout offerings! I’ve done this with my wife and a few times on my own. Loving it! Simple, full body, HIT and sweaty!
I'm trying to eat healthier and work out more regularly this year, trying to get down to a healthy weight. I started some calisthenics work, but I felt something was missing. Even weight lifting is kind of boring to me, so hopefully doing some of these keep my focus
Exactly what I needed!!! At moment I do movements "randomly" without a progression. So very much welcome. Sorry to know you had an issue with YT. Worry not! We are all with you.😉
Love to hear it! And thank you for the support. Just a little hiccup. Also, if you want more structure and progression, check out the free primal foundations program. While the goal with this stuff is to be more flowy and intuitive with movement, structure is what can help get us there. Here's the link: www.smoovmoves.com/free-primal-movement-program
Absolutely efficient training, you can clearly see how the small muscles have atrophied. Keep going ! However, one question: what is the brand of your pants called? This has large front pockets, practical.👍🏻
This is fun. I’m currently trying to get flexibility in my hip flexors so that I can learn a V-seat. A lot of these movements seem like a good warm up for me
I live part time in Thailand and have traveled extensively around the SEA region... I see many people out in front of their houses every morning doing these and other exercises most of the people I see doing these are older folk
What's with the negative comments? This workout is awesome and the body feels refreshed afterwards. Take your small mindedness elsewhere
The young people only want to get big and strong, not flexible and mobile. 😉 They'll figure it out eventually..
Because this is not a workout, or even a warm-up. And it doesn’t help the body in any way, but you need to WARM UP YOUR BODY BEFORE TRAINING.
Isn’t it small minded from you to not allow all type of comments even negatives…
I don’t get how this isn’t a workout or warmup? I personally run 100m and lift heavy 6 days a week but this is absolutely a workout. If you don’t work on simple movements like this you will pay the price as you age.. any professional coach gets you doing this before you start.
@dagaz777 to say this doesnt help the body in any way is simply a lie
Finally the workout that feels natural. I don't need to focus to follow some strange moves and losing my breath rhythm. It just feels like I was born to do that moves .
Thats how I felt! thanks for creating this!

You can go slower until youget some strength.

55 here and find this to be waaay more fun than aerobics and weightlifting alone. It's definitely something worth investing time on😊
Been doing primal flow workouts for just two week and already have better mobility! It is fantastic for waking up the spine, hip and shoulder joints!

Welcome! Stoked to have you. Let me know how it goes for you. I anticipate it will be fun and challenging in some really beneficial ways!
Top...
For me best beginner exercises.....
Great... Thx
Great movie. This makes me wanna start taking this up, which I will. Thanks!
This is fun. I’m currently trying to get flexibility in my hip flexors so that I can learn a V-seat. A lot of these movements seem like a good warm up for me
Very useful, thank you
Lo mejor es disfrutar cada movimiento!!
Thank youuuu
that was very fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful training, thanks mate!
You're very welcome!

Thank you so much for your workout.😅 Loving your 🏀at the end 👍👏
I really enjoyed the workout. Especially the slomos. Never got the fig 8 😊 have a good one
Thank you brother.. that was a great intro. 🙏
the fitness culture in USA over emphasizes muscle size and raw strength. They don't pay enough attention to movement, flexibility .
Thanks. You did a great job.
Thanks for watching!
