Thank you ! This is very helpful.
Great video from the past!! You ROCK bro✊️✊️🤘🤘
Man . I accidently found your channel, and am so glad I did. Thanks for the amazing info.
The main benefit of these excercises is the prevention of injury when doing intense actions. Very very smart young guy here. Well done buddy.
loved it so I was listening and putting this to work for me. I have some ideas of starting this with my grandkids and they will develop and think it's just fun. THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT ONE
Amazing and original videos! Really enjoy them and you're so humble and clear when you explain how you exercise. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Lucas, happy to hear!
You are just amazing!! Thanks a lot! I really appreciate you!
Thanks for this video Eero. I've been following you for a while and you have added value to my life. I just purchased Movement 20XX mainly just to support your efforts but also look forward to going through it and seeing what other gems you have in your content. Cheers
Thank you Hamenopi your support is highly appreciated. I'm always available for questions / help in comments or Movement 20XX support
You are a very professional and polite young man, with considerably valuable knowledge. This sort of training makes so much sense, because when we consider children who never lift weights, but are always outside playing, moving around in so many ways, they are very flexible and fit. This movement training takes that to such a higher level - whole body training where muscle groups work together through the exercise instead of isolating a single (or two) muscle group on its own. Do you recommend someone who wants to start movement training to be experienced first with weight training to strengthen each body part first? Also: I have a lower back issue (erector muscles along the base of the spine) that are always getting injured. I am healing from such an injury now - once I fully recover, what exercises do you recommend to strengthen this area (I tend to neglect this part - which is why I get injured so easily, I think!)? THANK YOU for your efforts to teach this! You could do a whole line of dvds - they would SELL!! : )
James, in my opinion, the best thing is to drop weights. If you're not in sports (that need specific exercises like deadlifts, snatches, C&J), the best thing you can do is to start in calisthenics. If you want some iron, go for calisthenics + kettlebell training. And for your back, bridges always!
thank you kindly for that valuable information.
Gymnastics rings are the most versatile tool for movement, mobility, stability and strength
Do some power walking with ankle weights for 10 mins.
ti was extremely helpful. because I was born with lat feet. and when I was young I didn't know how to walk or run properly. I've spent most of my life trying to correct this. and after getting my left knee injured a few years back in karate. I've had knee problems since. I want to be fit and healthy and happy. but I am afraid of damaging myself more. I will take you advice and just focus on d basics. like walking properly, strength training and flexibility. it has gotten better. some I used to have hip and back problems before. walking properly is really an art. thank you for your videos and your time! its saved my body
Vahva you inspire me so much ! Thank you
I think that your experience and angle on exercise and health is the most accurate and helpful for the public. I have a similar experience in my life and lifestyle. It is wonderful to know that someone else out there also gets it. You are AWESOME!!!
Glad to hear jmatt4life and thank you!!

Great to hear Carla, glad to help and inspire. Welcome to the course!
U r my inspiration
That video was exactly what I needed. Since I don´t have any combined system I could learn in my are, I need to do things on my own. Thank you for the information!
No problem!
You Are Awesomeness!!!! Thank you!!! :)
I love your organizational style; very professional.
Thank you!
This is fantastic! You know what I like most about you and your channel? Your incredible personality, and your ability to help people like me. I'm forever grateful for your help! You're the man!👍👍👊✌
Thank you a lot Maurice!!
i love how educational this is :)
Hey vahva, nice to know your movement background! and that's an interesting insight: movement/mobility training should walk hand on hand with strenght training. do you practise any sort of martial arts today? what is your opinion on BJJ for movement/mobility?
Hi lucas! I have never practiced BJJ but it seems excellent for the body but there should be additional animal movement, strength and mobility work. I am getting into MMA at the moment and will surely try BJJ soon
thank you Vahva, your videos are amazing and unique
Thank you as well Juan
Vahva Fitness hi may ask your age because you mention you got serious with movement training at age 20 Thanks

I really loved your movement I am happy to do leaping lizard, lizard walk, chimp walk, spider walk I loved it thanks for your video
Keep working it. You have so much going for you ; )
Thank you Edward, will do!
great video man i was just wondering though if you can tell us how much or how long should we do each exercise in future video like the crocodile the lizard walk and things like other than that i love your videos they are amazing keep it up
Thank you Ali. It depends very much on the individual, but you can do them until you get tired and your form starts to suffer. Then rest for 1-2 mins and try again.
I love ur videos man!much love from India 😊🤘 keep up bro
Thank you! Greetings from Finland!
sounds like we have similar backgrounds
thank you brotha! Love and Respect
Thank you as well!
Eero, very impressive workout, organic style of development, one question if I may ask, how do you fund yourself as a living, do you have a job, or is it from your inheritance or some sponsored financiak support? One of the main issues is to get the work life balance, both for time/space and funding to continue a program of workout effectively ? Thank you very much for inspiration.
Thanks for this video! How do you combine basic strength with movement training? I feel overwhelmed by the variety of different training approaches... I would love to combine calisthenics with movement (Ido) and conditioning. How do you train? all in one session or split by days? Kind salutations from Germany! Norman
I work on different areas of fitness in their own workouts but there are many ways to do it. Doing everything at once can be too much. For example in Movement 20XX the workouts are split into 1. strength & mobility and 2. movement workouts - this tends to work for most people
Thank you very much! I´ll check that page!
First time I see the video.I like it ,I try it.thank you.
Thank you as well Raju
Hello. Greetings from the Caribbean! I've recently subscribed to your channel and I love it. I do Krav maga and we incorporate some of the animal movements in our training, but it is difficult for me because I have scoliosis and therefore have a problem with flexibility, especially at the hip. Do you have any advice for improving flexibility at the hip and reducing tightness of hip muscles? Thanks
Hi Sasha, greetings from Finland! These exercises will build both strength and flexibility in the hips: kzhead.info/sun/qtyvf5ixj6aamZs/bejne.html
Vahva Fitness thanks so much! Will certainly try them!
I appreciate you are super
How often would you do it ?
Wow what a cool guy keep up the hard work out.
Thank you Myron
3:20 How to start movement training. Just start with easier movements. I'm not trying to be a dick, but for someone like myself who clicked for the title, that's all I needed.
No prob! I added timestamps to the description.
Ahasver thanks
muito bom
Hi, I mainly trained in calisthenics and mma in the past, and I have shoulder injury, I still can do all exercises, but it is a bit harder, lost some mobility and my right arm gets tired faster because of the shoulder. I am not looking to build huge body like bodybuilders, but still looking to build some muscles and hope to fix my shoulder. Looking to work out mainly from home, was looking at your program,do you think it will work for me?
Hi XaocXIII, Movement 20XX is a bodyweight program and it's great to do at home (I've received lots of positive feedback from users who do it 100% at home). I would recommend getting a doorway pull up bar though so you can do all of the content and pulling exercises. You can expect to build size & strength and the mobility work can greatly benefit your shoulder
So many videos that I need more time to see them all so good to learn and he is so cute and well define body
Strength is never a weakness
Do you advise me to do animal flow teacher course? its a 2 day workshop then i should send video i teach yoga and pilates and i searched for primal and animal movement i found one
Hi Rasha s, it depends on the course and who is doing it. Mine is Movement 20XX: www.Movement20XX.com
You're awesome
Thank you Tom
Moi Eero! Kiitos hyvistä vinkeistä! Miten ois celebrity workout video Bruce Lee:stä?
Moro Jake! Hyvä idea, pitää yrittää jossain vaiheessa tehdä
This is an awesome video, vahva! I'm actually quite out of shape, like a good 50lbs. I was wondering exactly where I should start since I am really interested in movement training? Should I work on shedding the pounds first or just jump right in? Should I do other forms of exercise, Iike weight training? Sorry for asking so many questions. I'm new to all of this, but I really want to be healthy in every way. 😄
Thank you Ci Ci, no problem! You can start right away with the easier exercises (like the monkey and bear walks), but it will be much easier and enjoyable if you shed the pounds first. I would recommend doing lots of cardio (like walking). Here is also my "how to eat to get fit" video: kzhead.info/sun/bNSrZamurqycaX0/bejne.html and my abs20xx.com diet guide.
Thank you so much!!! I will definitely implement those exercises and change my diet! 😁
Su cuerpo lo desarrollaste solo con entrenamiento de movimientos de animales?
I do olympic weightlifting on a national level. I've always wanted to master my body, and i really feel like i don't have control over my body like i want to. Do you think it's possible to achieve planch movements, handstand movements, lever, etc with just 2-3 days with that type of training every week? (Ofc it takes a long time, i know)
It depends on many different factors how good you will get at them (it takes more time and a certain body structure to pull off the full planche) but it's definitely possible to get good or great at handstands and levers with 2-3 days per week
you are poetry in motion...i can watch you move for hours lol
Thank you Royce!
capoeira is a martial art developed in Brasil, south America
GOOD
Thank you Yusuf
Those wave mirrors are so 80's like
Please make a video on easy movements that I should with
Here is a good video for beginners: www.vahvafitness.com/6-bear-walk-variations/
Yeah Ok
🙏❤💪
would you come to train a theater company in chile?
No plans to visit that part of the world now but would love to visit Chile someday!
you very bealtiful. 👍 👏 😍😘
Howmany days in a week i can do animal exercises?
3 to 5 times per week is pretty good. I have a free mobility routine at adayofmobility.com
You are saying movement training needed strength to prop up your mobility, which is very complimentary to each other. Eero, can you please add some exercises to ease knee pain and improve strength and flexibility, this I need to overcome and only you could help. Are you now in Malaysia?
I'm now in Kuala Lumpur! I have a knee video (stability and mobility) coming out next week so stay tuned
Kitos, Eero! Stay safe and we keep tuned up for your next sessions.
Is movementXX suitable for BJJ players?
I think it's great for all martial arts, BJJ included. Movement 20XX is influenced largely by my martial arts background.
You pronounce "capoeira" funny, hah! Awesome channel.
Haha, thanks!
I've been trying to squat deep for 4 months now. my ankle mobility is as bad as it gets. Getting stick of trying...
Here's my thorough ankle mobilization routine: www.vahvafitness.com/ankle-mobilization-routine/
No matter how uncoolrdinated you are Could YOU improve body control and coordination?
Anyone can make progress, almost everyone can make amazing progress unless you have a real medical condition.
Hey Bryson: don't let weaknesses stop you. Start small, and you'll always make progress. If you have coordination issues, I'd suggest breaking down the movement as well as performing single reps at the beginning (so perform your chosen exercise once, regroup and concentrate, and then perform another repetition, slowly increasing the number of repetitions). If body control is an issue, I'd suggest strengthening weaker body parts (notably glutes/core really help with control issues).
Are you influenced by Ido Portal ?
In the beginning he surely had influence, but nowadays our training styles are very different and my approach is more practical and more leg focused. We both have capoeira background which is why some movements may look similar.
Come on man I do all of them i just see it first and it's done
You are Polish my friend???
Finnish!
What is the brand of your leggins?
The blue ones at the beginning of the video. BTW, I am doing the lizard and the bear crawl. Getting better everyday. Thanks
They are from Nike. Nice to hear Martin!
Am I the only person that hears him say crap instead of crab? lol still a good video👍
Thanks, it's possible my pronunciation is sometimes off!
Looks like your site may be down.
They should be up, you can try: www.movement20xx.com/
Vahva Fitness I see it now. Enjoying all the great content! Thanks!
Turn on the captions, youtube thinks u are error
Strength is the foundation of all movement. A lot of people want to avoid this absolute truth.
Guahua......
Where is this guy from??? Is he cute or it's just me 🙈
Greetings from Finland!
Vahva Fitness I think i will visit your country soon ❤️
I pretty much don't trust anyone under 40 that talks about what is healthy and natural for the human body. Y'all haven't passed the age that demonstrates the efficacy of your lifestyle.
That's why I have heavily learned from masters such as Jiang Yu Shan and Steve Maxwell (more here: www.vahvafitness.com/story/ ). I also went through the period of destroying the body in order to find the sustainable way to train.
👍😘🌹💜💞👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
