Lesson 1 Fundamental Movement Pattern
The exercises in Family Time Fitness are scientifically designed for self correction. As
the body practices the movements in the program, the body will self-correct with practice
over time. This means that if in the beginning the child does not have exact form (maybe
awkward or unbalanced doing an activity) the adult does not have to correct form.
Continue the activities in short durations, and the child’s body will gradually do the
activity with better and better form over time.
There are seven primary movement patterns that we use in daily life, as well as
in all the exercises you do in a gym. These are: squat, hinge, lift, push, pull,
twist and gait (walking).
What are the basic patterns and movement involving the body parts?
Three types of basic body movements are locomotor, non-locomotor, and
manipulative movements.
The human body has five basic movement patterns: bending, single-sided,
rotational, pushing and pulling. Implementing functional training into your
workout aids in fixing faulty form, increasing muscle definition, enhancing
neuromuscular strength and preventing injuries.

Fundamentals You Need To Be
Training
Intro
If you want to be a well-rounded human and Move Better, Feel Better, Be Better. You
need to be working on these six movement patterns. These are the six fundamentals
because if you can perform these big six perfectly, there isn’t much you can’t deal with
on a day-to-day basis.
They are also the building blocks for more complex movements, such as Olympic lifting,
kipping, plyometrics (dynamic), or HIIT. They start with the following, but once you

Hinge – Picking something up off the floor, the first movement of the squat, lifting a suitcase
up
Lunge – picking something off the floor if you have tight hamstrings, patting a dog, a
transitional movement between gutting up off the floor.
Push – pushing someone away, helping push a broken down car, getting up off the floor after
laying on your stomach, Putting something in the top cupboard
Pull – pulling a loved one in for a hug or kiss, Grabbing something out of the cupboard,
helping someone up off the ground, pull-ups.
Carry – Carrying the groceries to the car or home, grabbing a laptop out of the back seat of
your car to carry it home, carrying a suitcase or bag, taking the garbage out.
