Non-Locomotor
The body's movement that does not involve

movement from one place to another. It involves
movements around the axis of the body.
BRACING THE CORE

the abdominal area and lower back to stabilize the
spine and maintain a neutral posture.

your back with your arms and legs in the air, then
alternately lowering and raising them while
maintaining a stable core and spine.

shifts their body from one position to another while
maintaining balance and control. This can include
various rolling patterns like forward rolls and side
rolls.
BIRD DOG SERIES
—consists of exercises that involve extending one arm
and the opposite leg while maintaining a stable and
neutral spine position. It helps improve balance,
coordination, and core strength.
PRESS UP, SCAPULA PROTRACTION & RETRACTION:
—involves moving the shoulder blades (scapulae)

through protraction (forward movement) and
retraction (backward movement) while performing a
push-up or similar upper body movement.
PLANK SERIES
—involve holding a push-up-like position with your
arms extended and your body in a straight line,
engaging the core muscles. Variations can include side

of the lower body, particularly the quadriceps,
hamstrings, and glutes. Squat series may involve
variations such as goblet squats, sumo squats, or pistol
squats.

improving body awareness, strength, stability, and
flexibility, and they are often incorporated into fitness
and rehabilitation programs.

What is Loco

Locomotor
Locomotor skills help us move from one place to another.
This movement can take place in different directions and
with varying speeds. We develop locomotor skills starting at
birth when we begin to wiggle and squirm, roll over, army
crawl, crawling, kneel walk, and then walking.
Importance of Locomotor Skills

location to another throughout our daily lives. The other more
extensive answer is that using these skills provides
opportunities to develop a healthy lifestyle with daily physical

Keep crawling forward on your hands and feet with your butt up in the
air.

that cause angular motion of our joints that are then
combined to cause linear motion of
ourbodies.Hop,skip, leap, jog run are samples of linear
movement
HOP

foot and landingonthe same
foot.
