But just because you perform these movements every day doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re doing them correctly. Whether you round your back while lifting or overload your knees when you stand up, repeatedly moving with poor form can lead to pain and injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Training these six fundamental movements \u2014 hinge, squat, lunge, push, pull and rotation \u2014 can help you accomplish daily tasks more easily and without pain as you age. Similar to a musician practicing their scales, mastering the basics can help you expand your range of motion, said Beth Lewis, a movement and exercise specialist based in New York City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Through <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/agricultural-and-biological-sciences\/procedural-memory\" title rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">procedural memory<\/a>, you learn and store movements to perform them without thinking about each step. That\u2019s what allows you to hop on a bike and start pedaling, but it can also cause you to compromise your form hundreds of times a day without noticing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There are a few versions of the fundamental movements framework, but the idea behind each one is the same: to build functional fitness by mimicking the motions you use for everyday tasks.
