patterns that allow the body to be coordinated in those simple,
basic movement patterns of lateral motion, weight
transfer, forward motion, up and down motion, and
coordinating upper and lower body movements.
Fundamental Movement Patterns
7 ESSENTIAL MOVEMENTS:
Squat
Hinge
Lunge
Push
Pull
Rotation
Gait
This exercise targets the lower body, particularly the quads, and emphasizes flexion of the knees and hips.
Squats
This exercise emphasizes the back of the legs, including the hamstrings and glutes, and involves opening (extending) the hips.
Hinge
Primarily a knee-dominant movement pattern that targets the quads.
Lunge
Involves moving a weight away from the upper body horizontally or vertically.
Push
Opposite of a push, this movement pattern involves moving a weight toward the body.
Pull
This exercise focuses on twisting and stabilizing movements, which are important for sports and everyday activities.
Rotations
This refers to the walking and running pattern, which involves coordinated movement of the entire body.

COMMON MISTAKES:
