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.
Great information thank you. :)
Thank you VAHVA toll sehr gut😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Vahvana-? Suomi?
Can you do these exercises everyday?
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!
Nice, very happy to hear!!

*My man..💜*
Awesome... thank you. 😇 🙏
Cool
I've got crabs
Thank u for sharing …
Mom: What are you doing!? Are you possessed? Me: I am doing exercise. *exhausted* Mom: ...
lmao
mom : dear our son has started taking drugs.
Chameleon walk , this is something else. Brilliant
After all of these walks I forgot how do “I” walk
Great moves eh
Same to same😁😁😁😁
😂😂
@Isayah hernandez for you may be it's Bible.. For us it's Veda's Holy Geeta My friend ❤️🙏
Haha
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 :)
Found reverse sneaking ape really difficult and you did so elegantly . Wow
Thank you Moolchand, it takes practice!
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
the chamaeleon is so cool!
Imagine that he'd do a moonwalk at the end just for fun.
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?
+CJ Jimenez Glad to hear that CJ! For advanced stuff increasing reps is one way, but trying some advanced work is even better.
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!
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!
This is the best you can do! Congrats and have fun dancing!
So incredibly graceful....like a dancer
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?
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
@@mosaicmatt i feel like the best way is to just try it, and you'll get better. And the best thing is,this shit is fuking funny c:
Just marvelous. Thank you!
Wow talk about hip and shoulder mobility. I'm impressed!
that he was wearing a puma shirt during the sneaking ape bit made me laugh
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!
Cool. Thanks for the inspiration. Love the cameleons and scorpions specially
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!
Encantada com tanta consciência corporal!
Great video! Thanks!
thx so much my loving coach about your efforts may god bless you
Thank you for you make this video for us .
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
cptmor9an 85 i agree natural exercises are better, much better for mma too because they dont stiffen you up like weights do, some weightlifting exercises like deadlift, squats are definitely beneficial but bicep curls are just for looks and in fact make you more vulnerable to arm bars
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
Increíble!! Me encantó la del camaleón...pondre en práctica todos, veré que tal me va con cada uno del ellos...excelente!!! 👍👌👊👊
Nice- much appreciated!! I never knew this walking exercises before!
Your physique is so nice! Such grace. Looking forward to incorporating these into my routines.
Thanks, good luck!
Man, you are a blessing! Love you so much!!!🤗🤗🤗😘
Would you say it’s better to do after the workout (like heavy lifting) or before ?😊
Ok, you sold me the chameleon one. I will add it to my routine.
Good luck!
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
Just amazing!!
Excellent ideas!!! Many thanks!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
muy buen entrenamiento ,movilidad ,fuerza,coordinación ,control motor .
I'll try to translate :) Very good (entertainment?), idontknow, Coordination,strength, motoric control.
Good job for the warm-ups of judo ! ;)
Absolutely brilliant. Do you have videos on how to work up to these?
My free mobility class at vahvafitness.com/free is a great start
Thanks for sharing. Are these exercises good for any age ?
Amazing!!!
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.
Im gonna try that one today!
estou amando seu trabalho... muito bom!
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
Awesome: I've been incorporating grappling centered exercises like this into my yoga teaching, good stuff.
Screaming *I'M AN ANIMAL* with tears and sweat running down my face
Interesantes los ejercicios, empezaré a hacer algunos.
Thanks somuch!
上半身主体のトレーニングで イイですね☀️😃❗
those chameleons are nasty, nice
real nasty hahaha
This is great. I am incorporating more unilateral movements into my workouts. These provide great ideas.
You did the chameleon so gracefully, I was at awe, you actually felt like a chameleon to me.
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.
So smooth. Impressive.
Thank you Pletzmutz!
Estos ejercicios encajan perfectamente para ser incorporados en un entrenamiento de Lucha o BJJ. Gracias.
Man. He is amazing. Incredible. Pro
Vav wunderbar ich mache auch mit 😍👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
awesome form and technique. thumbs up.
Thank you David
Vahva Fitness you're welcome, I only said the truth.
ESTO ES UNA MARAVILLA. DIGNO DE UN GRAN ATLETA. MUCHAS FELICIDADES
So impressive... I’m speechless! Total control of your own body.
Good!
you are very good man, Keep up the good work
+Alon Dadia Thank you Alon
+Vahva Fitness i love the Panther's walk i think I'll try this 1.
+Vahva Fitness how many hours and days a week should we do the animal movements Vahva? in advance thank you .
Супер упражнения для занятий с детьми, чтобы развивать и тренировать все мышцы тела. Очень красиво!!! Благодарю!!!
Hey, you do them so well. Incredible.
Thank you
:) Heh cool, I feel like a child! It`s funny and helpful, too! Thank you
No problem!
superb chemeleon walk...excellant ..
Thanks!
Oi tudo bom
Thanks
Man,the sneaking ape is little hard to do but it IS SO SATISFYING once you learn it.
He's more flexible than me in the first grade... I'm so jelly right now
I'm going to incorporate some of these in my mom & tot class tomorrow! Thanks
EXCELENTE COMO SIEMPRE!!!
thanks, good vid!
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
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
I love this, thank you.
legendary, thank you!
Impressive! Some really good movements that I'm going to add to my workout
This looks like great fun, could you do a tutorial?
Simply beautiful.
Thank you Sandi
amazing exercises
I ate a donut while watching this no lie
FandomFreak that's why you're a loser
Dio Santana what have you accomplished that makes you better than him/her
lmfao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
whats your point???
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.
Why is the duck walk important?
@@Mr-Raoui You tell me and we'll both know.
Awesome. been looking for something like this with additional animal walks and such. thank you
thank you very much for these amazing exerceses
Found you on KZhead 😁
Welcome
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
🤣🤣
Love these exercises. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Leon
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
well played sir, well played.
+Eivind Kvaale Thanks!
Such beautiful movement.. Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you Lily
Thanks you very interesting !!!
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
Conor McGregor brought me here.
+Ironk Welcome, and thank you Conor!
LOL same
me too
LOL ME TO
where did connor linnk the video to here from????
Incredible Nature. Incredible You.
Good stuff. I've seen most of those, some are in or similar to the whole animal flow thing, the horse walk I guess is an extension of the horse stance common in many martial arts schools... but the chameleon was completely new to me, looks quite tough. More stuff for me to try, awesome. Thanks! :)
Never seen scorpions move like that.
Interpret the leg as it's stinger.
2:18 horse walk I think it should be said Horse Stance walk.
your video helped me a lot to do those movements... thanks keep sharing such amazing stuff
Unbelievable fantastic... Kudos 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🌹🌹🌹
cool stuff, reddit brought me here
