Scope: which movements are covered?
The atlas spans a wide range, from basic bodyweight movements to free-weight and resistance-band exercises and on to flexibility and balance work. Each record contains a step-by-step description of the movement, the area it targets, its difficulty level, the equipment needed, form tips and the mistakes made most often. The aim is that no movement whose name you see in a programme should remain unfamiliar to you.
Filters: area, equipment, difficulty
You can narrow the records by the area a movement works, the equipment it needs and its difficulty level. Set up a combination such as "at home, no equipment, beginner level" and only the movements that fit your circumstances appear. When you want to know which muscle a movement works and how, you can move from the record to the relevant muscle page in the Muscles and Movement Atlas.
Reading the records: form and safety
The form tips are the most important part of a record; doing a movement correctly is worth more than doing it many times. Be sure to read the common mistakes section as well, since most injuries arise from known and preventable errors. This atlas is no substitute for a personal programme; for movements you are not sure suit your state of health, consult a professional. For the general principles, the Sport and Fitness section is a good guide.
