foundational movement patterns

Foundational movement patterns are basic ways our bodies move to perform daily activities and build strength. They include movements like squatting (bitting down and standing up), hinging (bending at the hips, like picking something up), lunging (stepping forward or back), pushing (like pushing a door open), pulling (drawing objects toward you), twisting, and balancing. These movements use multiple muscles and joints, helping improve overall coordination, stability, and strength. Training these patterns ensures functional, injury-resistant movement in everyday life and helps create a solid foundation for more complex exercises.
