49ersā Christian McCaffrey breaks down viral workout thatās turning heads
āThose are called animal movements,ā McCaffrey shared. āI actually got these from a bunch of UFC fighters way back in the day, and itās a cool way to do a lot of strength through full range of motion and flexibility exercises to kind of prep your joints in weird angles that youāre not used to doing. And so, those are really challenging, really fun.ā
He emphasized that the exercises go beyond traditional strength and conditioning.
āItās kind of taking the linear strength and conditioning aspect of training and putting it into more of a global athletic movement, learning how to fall, learning how to roll, using your body at different angles,ā McCaffrey added.
āAnd they get really challenging and really fun. Thereās a lot of people who Iāve learned them from, who do them a lot better than me, but I have a lot of fun doing it. So, yeah, that was part of it.ā
