우리는 왜 다시 짐승처럼 기어야 하는가

Why Are We Returning to Beasts Like the Old Days? The article discusses the growing popularity of a fitness trend called Animal Flow, which involves moving like animals on cold ground using one's own body weight and gravity. This trend is part of a broader movement called Primitive Movement Fitness, which aims to restore sensory, balance, coordination, flexibility, and spatial awareness abilities that modern civilization has weakened.

The trend is gaining popularity in major cities around the world, including Korea, where over 30-40% of office workers and IT professionals are now practicing it after work. The trend challenges the modern belief that efficiency and optimization are the only values, and instead promotes a more embodied and grounded way of being in the world.

This movement is seen as a response to the digital age, where technology has created a sense of disembodiment and alienation. By returning to basic movements, people are reclaiming their bodies as a source of value and connection in a world dominated by screens and algorithms.
