    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.
