Ever walk into the gym and have no idea what to do? Save this…
These are the BIG 5 movement patterns. They form the foundation of every effective strength program, no matter your age, fitness level, or goal:
✅ Squat
✅ Hinge
✅ Lunge
✅ Pull
✅ Push
Why are they the “big 5”? Your body does them every single day just to get through life!
Whether it’s standing up from a chair, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or opening a door.
Training these patterns means you'll not only feel strong doing them… you'll actually BE strong doing them.
And that strength shows up everywhere, not just during your workouts.
That’s important now, and it’ll be even more important 10 years from now!
