The Animal Flow Workout

Primal-style workouts are one of the hottest new fitness trends—and with good reason! Exercises that use the environment to inspire "natural" movement are not only more fun than traditional strength moves, but they also challenge your entire body at once. And when you work everything from head to toe, you burn major calories.

To help you get in on the animal action, we asked Lashaun Dale, senior national group fitness creative manager, and Mike Fitch, creator of the Animal Flow class for EQUINOX gyms, to create this exclusive routine; it's designed to help you build strength, flexibility, power, and endurance with nothing but your body weight.

How it works: Three days per week, do 1 set of each move in order without resting in between. Do the full circuit twice.
