BASEWORKS Practice is based on nearly 2 decades of teaching application, inspired by various movement disciplines and insights from exercise physiology and neuroscience. It is designed to give each student simple cues that will allow them to best understand and safely develop their unique bodies.
There is no forcing in BASEWORKS Practice. The teachers are trained to keep the students at a level of effort optimal for exercise gains, recovery and health in general (also referred to as the hormetic zone — not too little, but not too much).
At the same time, the students gradually learn to use “Distributed Activation“ and the built-in neuromuscular mechanisms, for quicker more intuitive learning.
Distributed Activation is a BASEWORKS Practice term to describe a more holistic concept of ‘core strength’. It highlights using all parts of the body and their functional connections rather than just focusing on specific areas.
