Most exercise methods focus on targeting muscles, which are the end effectors in the 3-step process of movement production (1-Plan, 2-Program, 3-Execute), leaving Steps 1 and 2 to the subconscious brain systems, limiting the possibility of learning and relearning.
The Baseworks method formulates the movement task goals in a way that makes Step 1 more conscious, allowing for more effective modification of motor programs at Step 2, leading to more effective learning and relearning.
Baseworks considers the neurophysiological mechanisms of motor learning and through its original applications works to increase sensory and spatial awareness, develop better control and more detailed repertoire of basic motor programs, strategically stimulating neuroplasticity. It also teaches intensity modification techniques that change one’s perception of stress, self, and interpersonal interactions. Its applications in attention allocation also have been reported to improve spatial cognition and short-term memory.

Below we briefly describe the 3-step process of movement production (1-Plan, 2-Program, 3-Execute), reducing its complexity to 8 elements. Although very simplified and not without inaccuracies, this model is still much more detailed than most exercise methods have in the scope of their consideration (typically, 1 to 3 elements).
PLANNING
PROGRAMMING
EXECUTION
When we move, it feels like we are the agents of the movement. However, most aspects of the movement are programmed by subcortical structures without any conscious awareness, based on the lifetime of past experiences and pre-existing motor skills.
For example, in open-brain surgery electrical stimulation experiments, the patients report that the stimulation of the primary motor cortex (#5) feels like the muscles “want to move on their own.” In contrast, the basal ganglia (#2) stimulation results in movements that feel volitional.
Although we are not claiming that the ultimate source of “I” resides in the basal ganglia, these subcortical structures are much closer to the sense of being in control of the movement than the primary motor cortex.

Baseworks Applications in the table below are combinations of various Baseworks movement principles.
Distributed activation (DA) + Micromovements (MM)
Increases:
Fix-Separate-Isolate (FSA) + Gridlines/Symmetry (GS) Principles
The movements are defined in terms of multiple points simultaneously (including many points on the trunk and spine)
Intensity modification
Distributed activation (DA) + Gridlines/Symmetry (GS) Principles
The word “neuroplasticity” is often used very lightly without explaining how a particular type of training is supposed to support neuroplasticity. It is often implied that simply “doing something new” = “more neuroplasticity.”
In Baseworks, we acknowledge the difference between “experience” and “learning experience.”
Based on the Principles of Experience-dependent Neuroplasticity, as described by Kleim & Jones, 2008, we uniquely put emphasis on the principles of Repetition, Salience,Transference, and Interference.
4. Repetition matters
Induction of plasticity requires sufficient repetition.
With highly detailed and consistent instructions, we ensure that the exercised movements are indeed repeated, avoiding substituting them with unconscious “fillers” that do not result in learning.
7. Salience matters
The training experience must be sufficiently salient to induce plasticity.
We bring awareness to sensory signals and define spatial goals in a way that supports learning and avoids mindless mechanical repetition of everyday well-learned movements.
9. Transference
Plasticity in response to one training experience can enhance the acquisition of similar behaviors.
We have strategically selected movements for exercising that can be transferred to a wide variety of daily and athletic movements.
10. Interference
Plasticity in response to one experience can interfere with the acquisition of other behaviors.
We appreciate that people come with a preexisting movement vocabulary. We very explicitly highlight when a certain movement must not be performed in a way that one is used to.
