Animal movement workouts, such as quadrupedal movement training, have gained popularity on platforms like TikTok, with proponents claiming that they target neglected muscles and improve joint mobility and body awareness. While research on animal movement is limited, some studies suggest it burns calories similar to moderate aerobic exercise and improves coordination and flexibility. These exercises, which resemble movements of animals like lizards, bears, and crabs, are said to have overlaps with established practices like yoga, Pilates, and dance in terms of improving balance, core strength, and stability.
