Study Notes
Joint Health and Mobility
- Lunge and twist exercises promote better joint health in hips, knees, and ankles.
- These activities reduce the risk of stiffness and injury.
- Targeted muscle areas include the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core.
Cardiovascular and Muscular Benefits
- Engaging in these exercises boosts cardiovascular health.
- Enhances hip mobility through hinging at the hips, engaging hip flexors and glutes.
Non-Locomotor Movement Skills
-
Bend or Flex:
- Involves moving a joint or limb through a range of motion, leading to overall flexibility.
- Benefits include improved mobility and joint health.
-
Twist:
- Entails rotating the torso around the spine, enhancing spinal mobility.
- Increases flexibility and range of motion in the torso and spine.
