Gorilla walk cycle (warm-up and demonstration)
This has been one of my favorites ever since I was a kid. I used to work with great apes when I was a zookeeper, so this kind of movement style always came in handy when trying to better identify with the animals under my care. That, and it's very comfortable to walk like this. There's very much a reason why gorillas, chimps, orangutans, etc, moved more towards a knuckle-walking style of locomotion to mirror the structural and functional effectiveness of a hoof in their environment.
I recommend doing these one dirt first, just so you can get used to how much pressure will be applied from the ground to the skin on your fingers. It takes a while to get used to knuckle walking on concrete like I do.
Do what you can while you can do 🧡🦍.
