Have you ever wondered why we sometimes feel stiff, weak or disconnected from our bodies even though we hit the gym regularly?
The answer might be simple: we are moving less like humans were designed to move. Our ancestors crawled, squatted, jumped and climbed daily. Their strength came from natural, primal movements.
Animal Flow brings that back. It’s a unique fitness system inspired by the way animals move in nature. Through crawling, balancing, stretching and flowing sequences, Animal Flow challenges your body to work as one powerful unit.
In this blog, we will take you through what Animal Flow is, why it’s so effective, and how you can start unleashing your primal strength today right here at COREIQ Fit.
Animal Flow is a ground-based bodyweight training system created by fitness expert Mike Fitch. Instead of lifting weights or using machines, you use your own body and the floor as your training tools.
It combines elements of:
Think of it as crawling like a bear, leaping like a frog, or stretching like a scorpion. Each move looks fun and playful, yet it builds serious strength, mobility and endurance.
Animal Flow is more than just exercise, it’s a full-body experience. Here’s why people all over the world are embracing it:
Primal Strength
By using natural movements, you train your muscles the way they were meant to function. Your core, shoulders, hips, and legs all get stronger as they work together.
Mobility and Flexibility
Tight hips? Stiff shoulders? Animal Flow opens up your joints and muscles through dynamic stretches that feel natural and fluid.
Improved Coordination and Balance
Many of the movements require you to balance on one hand or foot while moving the rest of your body. This sharpens your coordination, focus and body awareness.
Fat Burning and Conditioning
Since Animal Flow engages multiple muscle groups at once, your heart rate climbs quickly. It’s a killer workout for burning calories and building endurance without needing a treadmill.
Stress Relief
There’s something deeply calming about moving like an animal. It reconnects you to your body and helps release mental stress. You feel energized, grounded and more present.
Animal Flow has six main components that form the foundation of the practice:
Wrist Mobilizations : Prepares your hands and wrists for supporting bodyweight.
Activations : Positions like “Beast” or “Crab” that wake up your muscles.
Form-Specific Stretches : Moves inspired by animals, like the Scorpion Reach, that improve mobility.
Travelling Forms : Dynamic locomotion patterns such as Ape, Bear, or Frog.
Switches and Transitions : Flowing moves like “Underswitch” or “Side Kickthrough” that connect positions together.
Flows : Creative sequences that combine everything into one smooth routine.
You don’t need to learn everything at once. Start with basic poses and gradually build your flow.
The beauty of Animal Flow is that it’s for everyone.
Beginners: Start with the basics and build up. You don’t need to be super flexible or strong.
Athletes: Use it as cross-training to boost strength, mobility, and recovery.
Desk workers: Perfect for loosening stiff joints and improving posture.
