In your daily life, you are required to sit down and stand up (squat), bend over to pick up objects (deadlift), walk up and down stairs (lunge), push, pull, and carry heavy objects, etc. While exercises that utilize these movement patterns are very beneficial to your overall strength, sports performance, and aesthetics, they are also so important to your overall health as they will allow you to perform basic daily tasks without getting injured.
Absolutely everybody should include movement training in their workout program. Geoff Chiu discusses how you can implement movement training into your workout program, and explains why it will be beneficial, regardless of what your background is and your training objectives are.
