So, I’ve been messing around with this “horse style” thing. It’s wild, man. I started off like everyone else, just walking around on two legs. But then I thought, “What if I got down on all fours and tried to move like a horse?” Sounds crazy, right? But I went for it.
First, I tried just crawling. That was too easy. I needed to get that horse-like bounce, that gallop. So I started pushing off with my hands and feet, trying to get some air. It was awkward as hell at first. I fell on my face a couple of times, stubbed my fingers, and pretty much looked like an idiot.
But I kept at it. I watched videos of horses running, trying to figure out their rhythm. It’s all about the timing of the push and the landing. I started practicing in my backyard where no one could see me. I didn’t want the neighbors calling the cops on the weirdo trying to be a horse in his yard.
- First week was rough. Lots of falling and feeling like a fool.
- Second week, I started getting the hang of it. I could “gallop” for a few seconds without face-planting.
- By the third week, I was actually moving pretty smoothly. It felt weirdly natural.
I even tried different “gaits.” There’s the walk, which is basically a crawl. Then there’s the trot, which is a bouncy, jog-like movement. And then there’s the gallop, which is the fastest and hardest. That one still needs work, but I’m getting there.
The Workout
This whole thing turned into a crazy workout. My arms and shoulders are sore as hell, and my core is getting a serious beating. It’s like a full-body workout that also tests your balance and coordination. Plus, it’s kind of fun, in a weird way.
I also tried to figure out my weight distribution. Horses have such a different center of gravity. I have experimented with shifting my weight forward and backward, seeing how it affects my speed and stability. It’s a whole different way of thinking about movement.
Now, I’m not saying everyone should start running around like a horse. But it’s been a fun experiment for me. It’s challenging, it’s a great workout, and it’s definitely a conversation starter. I even tried whinnying a few times, but that just made my dog look at me funny.
So there you have it. That’s my journey into the world of “horse style.” It’s been a wild ride, and I’m not done yet. Who knows, maybe I’ll even try jumping over some obstacles next. Or maybe I’ll just stick to walking on two legs. We’ll see.
