In the article entitled, “Moving Through Winter,” Mike discussed how to stay motivated to workout in the winter and how to focus on mobility to prevent injury. Mike stated, “The way to reduce injury risk and improve health for our muscles, joints, nervous system, and everything else is to create resiliency in the body. Out bodies are little adaption machines, which is good. But it can be bad if we’re doing the same movements again and again.”

In the segment entitled, “See how the ‘Animal Flow’ Workout is Shaking Up the Fitness Industry,” Mike discussed Animal Flow and how this workout builds strength and endurance. Mike stated “Animal flow is a ground based, movement program that’s designed to connect our bodies to ourselves, our minds to our bodies through the floor. One of the ways that we found that’s really beneficial in doing that is by placing hands and feet in contact with the ground and moving around. It’s really about improving the connection, communication and function of the human animals.”
