Every day, we have the opportunity to learn new things. A few days ago, I learned more about primal movement, an exercise style I've seen around in my years of gym-going and YouTube browsing, but never interrogated further. Like cycling and Pilates, you can take in-person classes in this technique, but you can also just log into the video-sharing behemoth and find some free, guided workouts.
That word may throw you off and can evoke thoughts of paleo bros, Liver King, and the like. While it's true there's some overlap in the communities, this is an exercise concept with its roots in functional fitness. It's an effective, fun workout that doesn't have to be a signifier of any broader or ickier ideology. Feel free to ignore those connotations as you roll around on the floor. It's a nice break from the way we move (or don't move) now when we're hunched over our computers and cell phones in an office chair and nothing more.
While you're searching for primal movement exercise classes and videos, you'll definitely run across Animal Flow. These aren't technically interchangeable phrases, though they've come to be. Animal Flow is a branded movement system that seeks to replicate animal-like movements—primal movement is a broader fitness concept based on human movement. A lot of the moves look similar and the results are also similar, but there are a few key differences. First off, Animal Flow costs money. You can join the program, take classes, attend workshops, and more, but it'll cost you. That doesn't mean you won't find "animal flow" videos on YouTube and that they won't be basically the same as "primal movement" ones. Just keep in mind that animal flow and Animal Flow are actually different.

His audio quality isn't the best, but he more than makes up for it with the video quality. Each move is bookmarked along the playback bar at the bottom of the video, so you can jump ahead to ones you like. There's a countdown timer in the top of the screen, too, so you know how long you have left with each exercise. He's friendly, calm, and encouraging, even as he leaps around in a way sort of reminiscent of a bear. The channel provides playlists that are broken down by skill level, too, so you won't feel overwhelmed when you start out.
