MOVEMENT PATTERNS
- Squat, lunge, push, pull, hinge, twist, and walk. These make up the seven movement
patterns that your body relies on to get is done every day. And not just during a workout.
- Squat - A squat is a strength exercise in which the trainee lowers their hips from a
standing position and then stands back up. During the descent, the hip and knee joints
flex while the ankle joint dorsiflexes; conversely the hip and knee joints extend and the
ankle joint plantarflexes when standing up.
Lunge - A lunge can refer to any position of the human body where one leg is
positioned forward with knee bent and foot flat on the ground while the other leg is
positioned behind.
Push -The first upper body movement pattern is the push. It is any movement where
you push a load away from you or push your own bodyweight away. Push movements
engage your triceps, shoulders, and chest.
Pull -The last upper body movement is the pull. It is any movement where you pull a
load towards you or pull your own bodyweight. Pull movements engage your upper back
and biceps.
Hinge - a movement where
the thoracic and lumbar spine and pelvis stay in a relatively neutral position while the
subject bends forward. The movement comes from the hips rather than allowing the
thoracic and lumbar spines to flex or round.
Twist - With the normal twist, both feet move in synchronized harmony. Instead, hold
one foot still while twisting the heel of your other foot as your hips shift from side to side
Walk - move at a regular pace by lifting and setting down each foot in turn, never having
both feet off the ground at once.
