VAHVA Fitness Chameleon is just harder version of lizard crawl, isn't it ? But I like this exercise. :)) How deep should I go, if I do chameleon. It is hard for me if I hold myself only on one arm and one foot. And if I go too deep a fall down, because my arm can't hold it.
The chameleon crawl, the scorpion, the tiger, lizard crawls, and the plank exercises from another video of yours fixed my spine.... and I mean that I was in pain for years..... now I am doing great!!!! Thank you!
Vahva Fitness do you believe people of any fitness level could eventually get to the level (strength and flexibility) of what you've displayed here, or would only those with a prior history of athletics get there?
I came here to learn more about the bear crawl and frog jumps (which I saw neither) but I stayed for the awesome new movement exercises I learned. The chameleon and crouching tiger are my favorites, maybe because they use our entire body! Great content! It would be perfect if you explained the benefits or pros and cons of each type of movement and which ones to use based on what your workout goals are :)
You are the man. I teach these movements to all my dancers and put them constantly in my dance routines. Dancers progress leaps and bounds when they practice these movements in across the floor exercises as well. Great content!
On rainy days while I was in junior high school we used to have crab walk soccer games in the cafeteria... It was the best of all of our PE activities as I remember. FYI, In the crab walk you can move in any direction, and do it at a run as well. I hope someone reads this and gets up a game of crab ball... it's a blast!
Everything was so smooth and controlled--great form man! I will do duck walk in public even if I'm not working out just for fun because I live in DC where people take themselves too seriously lol
Interesting Fellow I think swimming is the best overall exercise cardio and muscle no strain too I think weight lifting isnt evolutionary were primates we should be moving like em more nature based
Interesting Fellow funny how you actually make nosense saying some exercices stiffen you and the you pick the one that stiffen your body the most aka deadlift and claim it's good, because yes deadlift is super great but it makes legs way less flexible overtime if you dont train your flexibility on its own
Incredible! Ive been looking for ways to start this kind of workout and finally came across your videos. 6 days later I am able to freeze through these workouts and finally do a handstand at will. Your videos has helped heal my rotator cuff completely after its been in pretty bad shape. Its also helped develop incredible core strength for my sport. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! As for the workouts should I just up the reps or try some more advanced stuff?
While doing the Crab, you can change the direction of your fingers pointing to your feet, this way you change the arm muscle, then low the butt till very close to the floor, this makes you reeeeally feel the burn in Arms and abs! Plus, it's such a nice thing to see Capoeira movements being spread out :) You are performing it very well, specialy the Chameleon. There is another animal walk in Capoeira, it's the Jacarezinho (little Aligator). I couldn't find a video to show you, but it's a explode push up jumping forward.
So you've only done TKD and Capoeira? Geez man...you'd be a demigod of Jiu Jitsu with this kind of kinetic flexibility. I really admire these movement videos. I'm a pretty lanky grappler myself and I rely much more on my agility and fluidity than pure strength, so I try to incorporate unorthodox movements such as these into my style.
+Rolling Kneebar Great to hear. Focusing on movement drills will definitely improve strength, mobility, coordination, agility... pretty much everything
Great animal movements. I wish I had watched this earlier. I am 66 and find some of the movements challenging. I need to keep at it. It would be useful if you could provide some hints on how to do each of them properly.
I strongly recommend that you practice the "Duck Walk" and the elated exercises described in this video until you KNOW you can do them before you go to MEPS. It's a very weird exercise and something you would never have done before and it has probably ruined more military careers than any other physical test. A good friend of mine got the highest IQ score they had ever had in his state and the recruiters were thrilled to sign him up. He was guaranteed a spot in nuclear training program. Unfortunately, he failed the "Duck Walk" at MEPS and they cancelled his enlistment and that destroyed what would have been a VERY promising naval career. It's a BIG deal. Treat it accordingly.
Where do you find these empty ass gyms? I really need a gym like these. Feels a lot more calming. Also the gyms I go to are always pact with people and I wouldn't wanna do these for the fear of looking stupid.
Go to a better gym. Expect to pay more for it. Your fitness shouldnt be a sub £50 investment. People spend that much on phone contracts. Hopefully you value your body more than your phone
Do them at home, you sure have the space there, no people watching and giving you funny looks and you can do them at a better pace than in a gym with people.
Chameleon and Crouching Tiger are so cool!🙂👌👊🔥🔥🔥 Greetings from Egypt👊🔥🇪🇬🇪🇬 Thank you very much for 'mentioning how all of that could be called'. Thank you very much!!!🙂
You did these animal walks so effortlessly! They are extremely difficult. Thanks for uploading this video. I am going to practice doing these watching your video.
+Shawn Harris Thanks, right now just focusing on getting stronger and slightly bigger. I'm also working on several calisthenics skills and I should conquer the beast (48kg kettlebell) very soon.
Chameleon looked very convincing! I like those "natural movement" movements more and more, it's refreshing to see that among all those workout, mobility and martial art clips on YT.

mosaicmatt looooooooooooooooool thoose moves are not hard at all for fuk sake move your fat ass and you can do such useless shit in a week
Maxime Monnier if u knew, then you'd know... that's so not true

And the best thing is,this shit is fuking funny c:
the chamaeleon is so cool!

These are so fascinating! I need to work on more dynamic workouts like this.
Thank you, good luck!
Good stuff, I liked the chameleon. Crocodile walk to bring it to the next level!
2:08 when you gotta go to other bathroom because you've realized too late that the one you're in don't have toilet paper.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Fucking lol
can't stop laughing!
I was watching the horse walk exactly when reading this comment. Too funny
Wow talk about hip and shoulder mobility. I'm impressed!
I have not practiced these exercises since elementary school. My legs are burning, but worth it. Back to the basics! Thanks for the video!
Great, the basics work the best!
Everything was so smooth and controlled--great form man! I will do duck walk in public even if I'm not working out just for fun because I live in DC where people take themselves too seriously lol
Duck walk is the most serious of those walks. It's brutal. Muscle soreness for days guaranteed in the beginning.
Your a g for that
@@sidneyaquino7929 u still a g for that
@@minceraftfornite4334 Haha had to check "Urban Dictionary" to see if that was a good or bad thing! Lol thanks G!
For all the white people or white Asians, "youre a g means you are gangster meaning you are hard core and get down with alot of things..." lol
Your physique is so nice! Such grace. Looking forward to incorporating these into my routines.
Thanks, good luck!
Nice Video man, the opposite of being sedentary :)
Thank you!
Jason Blaha Fitness pfft all that weight lifting how far you get yah i at least made it semi pro in hockey and I guarantee I punch harder
Interesting Fellow I think swimming is the best overall exercise cardio and muscle no strain too I think weight lifting isnt evolutionary were primates we should be moving like em more nature based
Interesting Fellow BTW hows it make it easily to get arm barred? I HAVE seen the Gracie's destroy bodybuilders on here AND women beat men very easily
Interesting Fellow funny how you actually make nosense saying some exercices stiffen you and the you pick the one that stiffen your body the most aka deadlift and claim it's good, because yes deadlift is super great but it makes legs way less flexible overtime if you dont train your flexibility on its own
those chameleons are nasty, nice
real nasty hahaha
Hey, you do them so well. Incredible.
Thank you
Imagine that he'd do a moonwalk at the end just for fun.
Man,the sneaking ape is little hard to do but it IS SO SATISFYING once you learn it.
Ok, you sold me the chameleon one. I will add it to my routine.
Good luck!
Perfect technique in those movements, look as a challenge everyone of them.. amazing exercises. Thank you!
Thank you E Mounstrom. If you want to get started, I have a free mobility class at adayofmobility.com/ with a free routine
Incredible! Ive been looking for ways to start this kind of workout and finally came across your videos. 6 days later I am able to freeze through these workouts and finally do a handstand at will.

As for the workouts should I just up the reps or try some more advanced stuff?
+CJ Jimenez Glad to hear that CJ! For advanced stuff increasing reps is one way, but trying some advanced work is even better.
Nice! I'm a huge fan of the Chameleon & the Crouching Tiger, because they remind me of The Beast from "Split" crawling up the wall.

Interesantes los ejercicios, empezaré a hacer algunos.
that he was wearing a puma shirt during the sneaking ape bit made me laugh
Great video ! My favorites are the tiger and chameleon walk !
muy buen entrenamiento ,movilidad ,fuerza,coordinación ,control motor .

Very good (entertainment?), idontknow, Coordination,strength, motoric control.
The Chameleon walk was my favourite!

Why is the duck walk important?
@@Mr-Raoui You tell me and we'll both know.
Haven't seen anything like this yet. Thanks for the beautiful animal moves. :)
Thank you Eva :), I have a beginner ROUTINE here if interested www.vahvafitness.com/movement-routine-core-whole-body/
Where do you find these empty ass gyms? I really need a gym like these. Feels a lot more calming. Also the gyms I go to are always pact with people and I wouldn't wanna do these for the fear of looking stupid.
Many gyms often have bigger areas for classes like yoga/aerobic/etc. which aren't used much when there is no class. Also picking a good time helps.
Mateo The Gent And Scholar "pact" 😂
Go to a better gym. Expect to pay more for it. Your fitness shouldnt be a sub £50 investment. People spend that much on phone contracts. Hopefully you value your body more than your phone
Do them at home, you sure have the space there, no people watching and giving you funny looks and you can do them at a better pace than in a gym with people.
@@jamesfy TRUTH. And I'm beginning to realize this, all too late in life.
The kicker? ........I'm only 39. LOL XD

Encantada com tanta consciência corporal!
You did these animal walks so effortlessly! They are extremely difficult. Thanks for uploading this video. I am going to practice doing these watching your video.

Nice- much appreciated!!
I never knew this walking exercises before!
Your mobility is great. What is your training background? Keep up the great work!
+Shawn Harris Thanks! I've done taekwondo and capoeira, then a bit of everything. Started seriously to work on mobility and strength 1-2 years ago.
+Vahva Fitness Well keep up the hard work because it is definitely paying off! What are your fitness goals?
+Shawn Harris Thanks, right now just focusing on getting stronger and slightly bigger. I'm also working on several calisthenics skills and I should conquer the beast (48kg kettlebell) very soon.
VAHVA Fitness please tell me the music from 3:10
Thank you for sharing your video good motivation for everyone i do love exercises
well played sir, well played.
+Eivind Kvaale Thanks!
Good!
I am new to body weight workouts.These movements definitely shocked my body . Will follow other workouts by you.Thank you!
Good luck!
He's more flexible than me in the first grade... I'm so jelly right now
Great vid! This young man makes them look easy!!
I was already laughing my ass off at the very first duck walk, it was hilarious when the guy's arm was really moving like a duck
Haha, thank you
EXCELENTE COMO SIEMPRE!!!
I ate a donut while watching this no lie

LOL same

LOL ME TO
where did connor linnk the video to here from????
A lot of crazy movements. Some made no sense, but you certainly are fit and agile. I love watching you and picking up exercise enhancement tips.
Never seen scorpions move like that.
Interpret the leg as it's stinger.
thank you very much for these amazing exerceses
2:18 horse walk
I think it should be said Horse Stance walk.
The crab walk is funny one :))
crouching tiger=spiderman
+roblox basketballgamez Nah crouching tiger is more like a bear crawl. Spidermans are like the chameleon but without the one hand push up part.
Chameleon looked very convincing! I like those "natural movement" movements more and more, it's refreshing to see that among all those workout, mobility and martial art clips on YT.
Glad to hear! Thank you!
was gonna us this in my class but then the kids started laughing for the lack of shirt and ask me why I was so fat
🤣🤣
Such beautiful movement.. Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you Lily
the traditional spider man walk
