Animal Flow is an exercise system that uses body weight to perform fluid movements on the ground. Inspired by animal movements, it develops strength, flexibility, and coordination all at once.
What is Animal Flow?
Animal Flow is a movement system developed by Mike Fitch in 2015. Focused on ground-based movements, this training is based on the “flow” concept — movements connect seamlessly to each other.
