Why Animal Flow training is the hot new workout in town

Mallika Fernandes has always enjoyed physical movement. “I can see a lot more people taking it up,” agrees Fernandes, who believes that the online class format has helped create traction for animal flow. “Everyone is training online now; that has helped grow animal flow exponentially,” says the Bengaluru-based Vijay, co-founder of Sweaty Ninjas and Academy of Strength. “Since it is a bodyweight workout, it is more accessible to many people,” says Urmi Kothari, the founder of the Mumbai-based Kinetic Living, who holds multiple fitness certifications, including one in animal flow. “The fascia connects different groups of muscles together which work in tandem during our movement,” says Kothari, adding that training this fascial tissue, along with your muscles and joints, improves the overall efficiency of movement.
