👶 BABY BATTLE CRAWL 🍼
This is what we call the BABY BATTLE CRAWL a NeuroKinetX (NKX) Developmental Pattern that focuses on maturation of the central nervous system which is the primary impetus for stage like transitions in motor planning, motor development and motor control.
In other words it strengthens your nervous system not just your muscles 💪 !
The BABY BATTLE CRAWL is essentially a mobility, strength, proprioception, coordination and core workout all rolled into one exercise. It challenges every muscle in the body including the shoulders, chest, glutes, legs and required engagement of the core and pelvic floor muscles throughout the entire movement.
It improves mobility by working multiple joints through their full range of motion and challenges other lesser used joints and muscles to engage in order to stabilize the body as it moves into various positions.
When we speak of strength training the nervous system we like to explain it as becoming “re-coordinated” to movements we once performed well, but now our bodies (over time) have forgotten those patterns. Once the coordination has improved then we can progress the complexity and dynamics of the pattern to exact a response.
