When you think about ‘practice’ what do you tend to think about? Or more like who do you tend to think about? What type of person– an athlete right? The term practice is to drill a particular action or skill into your muscle memory in order to improve said skill or action.
Here’s the thing… Practice is not only for athletes, it’s for everyone. If you're not practicing for a sport or physical activity, then you’re practicing for life. An athlete practices skills and actions that best mimic their particular sport or physical activity, so they can be able to perform their best in their sport. An everyday person should be practicing functional movements that mimic real life movements, so they can be able to perform their best in their everyday life.
Think of everyday things you do in your life on a day to day basis. Driving, sitting down, lifting heavy things, walking, etc. Each of these things are comprised of functional movements.
Break these movements up by three regions: Upper body, core, and lower body. ☝️
