What is Movement Flow?

Movement Flow is a training method that involves performing a series of fluid movements that flow seamlessly from one to another. It’s a powerful combination of multiple disciplines that encourage strength, mobility, and coordination.

Movement Flow also helps athletes develop body awareness, balance, and control through all ranges of motion which in turn promotes better performance and unlocks power and force production.

How Does Movement Flow Work?

Movement Flow incorporates bodyweight exercises that require moving the body through various positions or ‘shapes’ and ranges of motion with good posture and body alignment. These exercises help to improve strength, core power, mobility, flexibility, and enhance overall movement quality.

Movement Flow also involves practicing transitions between exercises and ‘shapes’ which helps to develop coordination and timing.

FAQs About Movement Flow

In this section, we will address common questions about Movement Flow, including whether it is suitable for all athletes, whether it can replace traditional strength training, whether equipment is necessary, how often to do it, and how long a typical session lasts.

Q: Is Movement Flow suitable for all athletes?

A: Yes, Movement Flow is suitable for all athletes regardless of their sport or fitness level. It can be adapted to meet the needs of any athlete regardless of their sport or fitness level.

Q: Can Movement Flow replace traditional strength training?

A: No, Movement Flow is not meant to replace traditional strength training. It’s a complementary training method that will enhance an athlete’s performance.

However, you can use props like yoga blocks or resistance bands to make some exercises more challenging or to modify them to suit your needs.

Q: How often should I do Movement Flow?

A: The frequency of Movement Flow training depends on your individual needs and goals. If you’re new to Movement Flow, it’s best to start with a few sessions per week and gradually increase the frequency as you become more comfortable with the exercises. If you’re an experienced athlete, you can incorporate Movement Flow into your training program as a warm-up or cool-down or as a standalone workout. The key is to listen to your body and adjust the frequency of your training based on how you feel.

Q: How long does a typical Movement Flow session last?

Additionally, reducing the risk of injury will help athletes stay healthy and ensure more time is available for strength and skill development.

Q: Will Movement Flow help me improve my balance?

A: Yes, Movement Flow will help improve your balance by incorporating exercises that challenge your stability and proprioception (your sense of where your body is in space). By improving your balance, you will enhance your overall movement quality and therefore improve your movement within your chosen sport.

Q: Is Movement Flow suitable for people with mobility issues?

A: Yes, Movement Flow can be adapted to suit the needs of people with mobility issues and will improve your mobility over time. By incorporating modifications and adjustments, Movement Flow can help improve joint mobility, flexibility, and balance in a safe and effective manner.
