The definition of a functional movement is something that is safe, naturally occurring, multi jointed, and capable of moving large loads long distances quickly (or generating power). If we don’t practice sound functional movements we suffer accordingly and it becomes less natural for us to perform an essential movement safely, let alone with the finesse and grace of good technique. These movements can be hard to master, especially if we have spent a good part of our lives practicing less than ideal movement patterns.
What has been the hardest movement for you to master? Post thoughts to comments.
