Move Often and Vigorously
We are designed for terrestrial-based movement such as walking, jogging and running, as well as arboreal-based movement such as climbing, tool-making and throwing. Together, they form our species evolved movement capabilities.
Our modern environment is composed of conditions that contribute to the atrophy and dysfunction of these evolved movement capabilities - in particular, sedentarism and movement specialization. We can restore optimal movement via implementation of a functional movement practice.
A functional movement practice includes fundamental movement patterns and qualities that are associated with our species. An emphasis is placed on developing proprioception, balance, agility, strength, power, endurance and flexibility. These qualities are integrated with fundamental movement patterns such as: jumping, bounding, hopping, rotating, hanging, swinging, throwing, squatting, hinging, lunging, pulling and pushing. The outcome of a functional movement practice is optimal physical performance.
Can you move freely and easily?
