Here are some key aspects:
Primal Movements: These are fundamental patterns that our ancestors performed for survival. They include:
- Squatting: Essential for mobility and leg strength.
- Lunging: Improves balance and lower body stability.
- Crawling: Enhances core strength and coordination.
- Pushing: Builds upper body strength.
- Pulling: Engages back and arm muscles.
