So this is a little different to what we usually do, but I LOVE animal flow (and I’m a certified instructor). It’s a form of body weight exercise, i.e. you are using your own bodyweight to provide the resistance for the movement. It looks simple, but it takes some practice (and increased strength) to get it right.
◦ Go into an all 4s position on your mat with your hands and knees hip width apart
◦ Place your wrists under your shoulders and your knees under your hips
◦ Bring your knees further forwards so they are under your lower rib cage
◦ Tuck your toes and lift your knees off the floor. Just a little – enough to slide a piece of paper under them
◦ Ensure your weight is equally placed over your feet and hands, your shoulder blades are open and you are engaging your core
◦ Now for the fun bit! Raise one foot slightly off the floor and hold for a few seconds before replacing on the mat. Now the other foot. Then lift one of your hands off the floor and replace. Then the other hand. The whole time you are doing this, the knees stay as close to the floor as possible (but not touching the floor – that would be cheating!).
Once you have got the hang of that, try lifting opposite limbs – right foot and left hand. Then the other side.
Obviously, if you have a wrist injury, or arthritic toes, this is not going to be an exercise you can try. But if all is ok, take your time. It is all about correct technique and strength.
