Discover How Bodyweight Exercises Based On Animal Movement Can Help You Transform Your Body And Your Life
What is the ultimate form of bodyweight training? Is it Tai Bo? Cross fit? Perhaps some form of running? Some of these forms of exercises are good (and others not, *cough * running *cough*) but they are not the best. If you want to perform the best bodyweight exercises that will make you lean and mean in record time look no further than Mother Nature.
Here’s what I mean. Any animal you can think of possess a fitness level heads and shoulders above what man can do. Consider the following:
The Endurance Of A Tiger
All big cats posses unbelievable coordination, flexibility, speed and power. An adult tiger has the strength and endurance to roam over a domain that may cover a 100 square miles. How many men or women can do that? It's said that the tendons in the legs of a tiger are so strong that if it's shot in the head it will remain standing. Now THAT'S strength.
The Power Of A Gorilla
Gorilla's are approximately the same height as a man. However, they are 300 to 500 pounds of pure muscle, and they do this on a mostly vegetarian diet! They are also 5 to 20 times stronger than the average man, yet they never lift weights. What do they know that we don't?
The Speed Of A Cheetah
Cheetah's are lean, powerful, and fast. They are capable of running at speeds in excess of 70 mph. Yet you never see them running on a treadmill, do you?
What Is Mother Nature’s Secret? Bodyweight Training
The fact of the matter is that animals in nature don’t perform cross fit, tai bo, or any of the other countless ways that man has come up with to stay in shape. The only thing they do is exercise throughout the day using nothing but their own bodyweight. This is what gives them their explosive strength, flexibility and stamina. This is what they do. Don’t you think you should too?
If you find the idea of being as sleek, powerful and charismatic as our animal brethren appealing, then Animal Workouts: Animal Movement Based Bodyweight Training For Everyoneis for you. Within its pages you will find a variety of bodyweight exercises based on animal movements that are appropriate for every age and fitness level.

Animal Workouts - David Nordmark
Introduction To Animal Workouts
In my book, Natural Fitness, I told the story of how a visit to the zoo implanted a nagging question in my head. I was looking at the gorillas and I was so impressed with how strong and powerful they appeared. How could they get this way when they didn’t exercise in anyway that I knew of? Now, I’m not going to repeat that story here, but I will tell you the conclusion I came to. It is my observation that any animal in nature you can think of is far fitter and stronger than man. How do they get this way? The answer is because by instinct, animals only train with their own bodies and bodyweight. Doesn’t it make sense that men and women, who are animals after all, should train the same way as well?
Natural Fitness focused on the best bodyweight exercises that I have done over the years. In my way of thinking these are all natural, animal-like exercises. Now, I know that some people have said, "Wait a minute, I’ve never seen a monkey do a pushup before" - and that’s correct. The truth of the matter is that you could get in fantastic shape if you simply climbed around in a tree all day like a monkey. However, for most people, this just isn’t practical. Animals may not perform hindu pushups as taught in my first book, but they are still natural exercisers as they: 1) Only use their own bodyweight and 2) Work their whole body as a whole, the way nature intended.
This book is different. The bodyweight exercises you will find here still follow the above two principles, but they are all based on actual animal movements. Why train like this? Well, let me count the ways ...
As I said earlier, all animals possess the strength, grace, agility and flexibility that most men and women never come close to approaching. When we mimic their form of bodyweight training (as best we can), we are able to get many of the same benefits.
The second reason is that this is a different way to train and it’s fun! One of the reasons a lot of people use to start skipping their workouts is because they get bored with them. Training like an animal once in awhile (or all the time, if you really like it) solves this problem. Variety is the spice of life and this kind of training will definitely add variety to your workouts.
The final reason is because just like the bodyweight exercises from Natural Fitness training, naturally using your whole body will save you a lot of time. These exercises are so intense and functional that you can get an incredibly quick workout done in under 15 minutes. Animal workouts are almost like a natural form of cross fit exercises without the associated time or expense.
Some Diet Advice
One question I often get from people who are just starting an exercise program is, Do I need to watch what I eat?
If you want to maximize your results, the answer is an unequivocal Yes
. Now, this is not a book on eating healthy, but I still have some advice for you. My first piece of advice is to strive to eat food in as natural a form as possible, just like the animals in nature. This doesn’t mean you have to go on a raw food diet or anything (although a lot of people would advocate this), but it does mean you should strive to avoid food that comes in boxes, bags or wrappers whenever possible. My second piece of advice, and it is related to the first, is to really try to cut down on the amount of sugar you consume. Whether it’s natural sugar or high fructose corn syrup, it is my observation that excess sugar consumption stops weight loss in its tracks. Sugar is not good for you. Avoid it whenver possible.
If you need more help than this you might want to check out (be warned, shameless plug coming up) my book "Lose Weight WITHOUT Dieting". This book contains some straightforward advice on how to change your eating habits in order to lose weight for the long term. It is based on the idea that short term diets don’t work, but changing your eating habits does. If you want to get in the best shape of your life, you need to focus on exercise and what you eat. There is no way to avoid this. The two go hand-in-hand.
