I’ve been following you for about almost two weeks, I was looking for animal flow videos and I came across a few and told myself, “I want to follow a female doing it because it’s a hard workout and requires a lot of strength and a guy teaching might get too beyond my reach”. Well I found you to be the best at teaching mobility workouts compared to all the others I watched on RUclips! I’m sticking with you 😅, you are very detailed on your teaching, which is hard to do since it’s a flow workout but you break it down step by step really well, thank you for your videos :)
Could not edit my previous comment, so I've deleted it, and decided to write a new one. Content has been awesome lately. Keep the videos coming, and keep up the great work!
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching! I invite you to check out some of the follow along workouts on the channel to put this stuff into full movements!
These moves are getting me brickhouse stacked and im always impressed with how i can move around like a dog on my 4-6 limbs with my dog because of your animalistic movement work in my life
Vraiment excellent ces petits exercices que je ne connaissais pas. Et c'est bien la première fois que je découvre certains d'entre eux. Merci beaucoup 🙏👌
Thanks for the clear easy to follow instructions. Trying to get myself and my family active. This is great stuff. I already feel like I’m getting off the floor easier. Little wins👍
New subscriber here. I was looking for beginner-friendly animal flow videos and came across your channel. Your channel is by far the best. Thanks for the excellent content.
Wow, these are great to build stability for the even more challenging moves. Very smooth! I started practising AM, but realised I have too little basic condition, so now I take long walks every day and use playground equipment to improve the condition of my heart first. Cant wait to restart practising with your moves! 😊❤
great library! Thx for sharing and puting together this super nice and beginner friendly videos! I have started last weekend and yesterday i had my second session. My body i hurting at places i never felt before ;D I mean the good sort of pain! The one you feel when you put in some work! Cheer!
Thanks for sharing! Awesome work implementing this stuff. Glad you're feeling the work. Keep going and keep breathing into your frame, especially with these core exercises.
You have a really great physique, dude,I am also very passionate about fitness, which is why I have recently created my own RUclips channel dedicated to fitness.
Very well explained. Could you do a video with the intermediate to advanced animal flow moves such as the bear crawl, the scorpion sweep, and the crocodile roll?
Thanks for watching! Yeah, Vol.3 of this series is going to feature all of the intermediate and advanced moves from the animal flow system. I anticipate I'll be posting that one in the next 2-3 weeks. Stay tuned and appreciate you letting me know what you want to see next!
@@smoovmoves I am here for animal movement explanations and follow videos for beginners. An integration into daily life would also be interesting. But I will think about some specifics I could ask ;)
Wow what a gold mine! Thanks Grant, I can’t wait to incorporate these fundamentals tomorrow morning!!! At PF gym you never have to wait in line for the floor, Smith machine and leg press well that’s a different story lol. Curious about your overall work out, weighted calisthenics, rings, planche, handstand, traditional weights, etc. what’s in your routine?
Yo Steve! appreciate the comment! How did the fundamental work go for you? And great question, definitely going to be making a video on this. The practice is always shifting but right now....basic calisthenics for strength, circuit training, walking and basketball for cardio with some sprints thrown in every once in awhile, mobility, breathing, and nervous system work for recovery....all that feeds into some skill work a couple times a week, so primal movement, rhythm and dance, and whatever else I'm working on getting better at. 2 days of strength, 2 days of cardio, 2 days of recovery with one day left for skill and recreation. This is the base program for whats been working for me lately. www.smoovmoves.com/smoov-45 hope this answers the question for now. More to come, thanks for the question!
@@smoovmoves mahalo Grant thanks for the awesome reply!!! So I’m actually using your June 10th video as my work out. It’s great, I can handle 3 rounds of the 3 exercises. The dragon squat is really opening my hip flexors as well as the dog to crab cross thru (which I also throw in). That’s what’s so great about animal flow, incredible time under tension, whole body, coordination, fun, etc. I throw in some 3X10 of leg press sled four plates and Australia rows. I read that tendon/ligament strength takes 6 months to develop. I will start incorporating planche, handstand, front lever, etc. and spend the rest of my life training lol your channel is super dope on par with the brothers TSS and Daniel FFAQ. I always love it when I get in on the ground floor of a channel (sry 3rd floor you’ve have some momentum lol) bro you’re going sky high!!! ANIMAL FLOW!!!
Thanks for the great content SMOOV! Been practicing this kind of movement for about a year now and keep running into forearm pain when crawling. Do you have any experience with this?
@@fishinallyear1 gotcha. I have not personally experienced this with ground movement but it does sound like "tennis" elbow. Some light self massage and specific forearm mobilizations should help. I've added this to the list of future videos to post so I'll come up with some stuff that I think would help your issue. Hope this helps for the time being.
Yeah, I’ve got a mix of joggers and shorts. Brands include Mack Weldon, paka, duer, outerknown but most recently I got three pairs of Bear Bottom shorts and a pair of joggers. I love em, they’re decently affordable and some of their products are predominantly cotton which is a preference for me.
I'd shoot for 2-3X week to start and then scale up the frequency but honestly no harm in doing a couple of them daily. Just listen to the body and if you're sore / joints need a break then take a rest day
This is something almost all animal flow programs are missing. Truly foundational.
Thanks for watching! I agree, it really helps dial in the details of the practice.
Love this routine, I'm getting stronger, more integrated in the movements. Thank you!
Nice. I learned all these movements almost 30 years ago with Ginastica Natural and Bio-Ginastica. I like your approach to introducing the movements.
Awesome. Been looking for more ways to build mobility into my workouts. Thanks for posting. 👍
Thanks! These videos are excellent. You do a great job presenting the info and I’m really enjoying playing with animal flow
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the super!

Love this!! Really good ways to establish a solid base before trying those other animal flow moves! Thank you!
Thank you for watching 😉
Thanks for this recap of fundamentals, your work is really appreciated 🙏🪷🌸
Always welcome
Thank you for this video. Since I’m starting from the three basic positions this will definitely help me improve my skill level.
Glad it was helpful! The foundation stuff really helps! Let me know how it goes and hit me with any questions! Thanks

Thanks for the great content SMOOV! Been practicing this kind of movement for about a year now and keep running into forearm pain when crawling. Do you have any experience with this?
On the inside or outside of the forearm? And is it particularly closer to wrist or elbow?
On the outside, about 2/3 of the way from the wrist to the elbow. And it happens on both sides.
@@fishinallyear1 gotcha. I have not personally experienced this with ground movement but it does sound like "tennis" elbow. Some light self massage and specific forearm mobilizations should help.

Thanks man! Appreciate the response.
This video should be stored at the Smithsonian
Can you please unblock the primal moves for the beginners and intense?
I don't know how to extend through my heart... not even sure what that means.
What happened to the Vol 1 video?
I had to take it down for legal reasons. Check out my most recent video “25 Primal Movements” it’s an updated, improved and expanded version of Vol. 1
how long should I be trying to hold these positions?
Очень похоже на танец.
Do you lift weights? Or just practice animal movement?
I lift weights and do calisthenics 2x/week. Kettlebells, dumbbells and 100lb sandbag. Practice primal movement a couple times a week.
can't findthe20 animalmoves anymore😢
I know I’m sorry! Had to take it down for legal reasons. Better stuff in the works! Just hate to leave you all hangin without those videos.
Just curious. What kind of shorts and joggers do you wear? I find it difficult to get into these moves in the gear and got and want to upgrade ....
Yeah, I’ve got a mix of joggers and shorts. Brands include Mack Weldon, paka, duer, outerknown but most recently I got three pairs of Bear Bottom shorts and a pair of joggers. I love em, they’re decently affordable and some of their products are predominantly cotton which is a preference for me.
should we do this daily?
I'd shoot for 2-3X week to start and then scale up the frequency but honestly no harm in doing a couple of them daily. Just listen to the body and if you're sore / joints need a break then take a rest day
