Origin and insertion of muscles are good to know about, but, its not how the muscular system are built, arranged or function.

Levers doesn’t exist, and muscles are not the medium of movement.

Everything’s connected, and single muscle theory are outdated.

#Walking , dancing, running, or doing the #BrainGym #CrossCrawl all activate contralateral movement. Such reciprocal motion challenges the #brain to process substantial sensory input for left/right/up/down coordination of arms and legs while keeping the body balanced. #MovetoLearn

YES! And choices in our learning puts us physically at the center of the learning—prompting eye-teaming; active, binaural listening, and whole-body movement. Application of learning increases when we have greater access to our senses and motor skills. #BrainGym #MovetoLearn

Does #techtime affect #motivation by making #learning too easy? For me, it isn't about easy or hard. It's that current tech inhibits natural movements (like walking, eye-teaming, blinking, breathing) that would otherwise help transfer new learning into #ActiveFunction . #BrainGym

Physical #inactivity can result in fatigue and low energy. For an instant mental and physical boost, use simple, task-specific moves to activate eyes, oxygen, lymph flow, and circulation of blood and nutrients. #BrainGym #EnergyYawn #BellyBreathing #MovetoLearn

#BrainGym has magical powers / congrats on your upcoming book! 🎉

A large part of why #BrainGym is so effective: The Learning Flow is a balance of 'Got it' and 'Getting it.' Getting it is the 'challenge' side of learning—the place of exploration. Sensorimotor #balance gives us a 'Got it' context, to which we discern & add new input. #MovetoLearn

Sometimes, the simplest exercise can help restore focus and calm in the classroom. 😌
