Moving out of the box

So why am I so interested in animal movement, breakdancing, challenge course, martial arts and flying trapeze? What do these forms of movement and exercise have in common and how can they improve our health, fitness and wellbeing?

Integrated movement - our bodies move as a whole - everything is     interconnected and moving in this way in a safe and efficient manner helps us learn healthy movement patterns that we can use in everyday life.
 
Balance, stability, change of direction, force production, momentum, physical strength, adaptability and responsiveness to outside forces
 
For many of us, these movements are “out of the box” in terms of our regular daily patterns, and building our capacity to move in these ways builds confidence in our ability to learn and adapt to new challenges.
