Get Fit and Toned with Animal-Inspired Workout Moves

Equinox's new Animal Flow class blends dynamic bodyweight movement-in other words, no equipment required-with modern athletic training to sculpt your whole body in an entirely fresh, new way.Think cross training goes primal. "After a lifetime of lifting weights and 12 years in the fitness industry, I had a ton of muscle but lacked the ability to move," says Animal Flow creator Mike Fitch. "I completely switched to bodyweight-only disciplines and discovered the true meaning of movement and its link to the longevity of our bodies. The end result, Animal Flow, is a program that works the entire body, increasing flexibility, stability, strength and endurance-and most importantly, it's fun!"

Curious? We thought so. Take a look at these animal-inspired moves. Just be sure to do a five-minute warm-up before test driving them to mobilize the wrists as well as the shoulders, spine, hips and knees.
