Day 29
You are an animal. Your body moves in many directions. Think about incorporating animal style movements into your training.
Often training in a gym, or even at home we tend to train in one of three directions – front to back, side to side, and upper and lower halves. But in real life we often move in all of those directions at the same time!
Getting on the ground and moving like an animal is not only effective, it can be fun. I’ve added some animal style movements in Training Block 3. These movements build in strength, coordination, and even cardio conditioning.
