What are Fundamental Movement Patterns? Fundamental Movement Patterns are 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.
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.
Fundamental Movement patterns include:
- Walking
- Bending
- Reaching
- Squatting
- Running
- Kicking
- Shuffling sideways
- Moving around people and objects
- Eye-hand coordination
- Eye-body coordination
