What is Motion Evolution?

Based on the premise that people are made to move, Motion Evolution integrates physical literacy, nutrition education, brain-body science, personal best and play, making the program a complete wellness package. Just as we teach children the A-B-C's as the building blocks for reading, Motion Evolution teaches the foundations of movement (tossing, jumping, kicking, inversions, balance, etc.), giving children a greater fitness level and increased confidence. Motion Evolution is flexible and adaptable to accommodate the vast differences in children and is perfect for public and private schools, home school organizations and sports teams of all types. When you put it all together, it's easy to see why this program is receiving national and international attention.

How do the Motion Evolution programs compare with the current standards?

Motion Evolution® exceeds state school wellness guidelines, surpasses the ACE® youth exercise guidelines, goes beyond the NASPE® program, and goes further than the Cooper Institutes Fitnessgram®.

What are the key features of the Motion Evolution programs?

• Physical Literacy: Children learn the ABC's of the alphabet system and the 123's of the numeric system. By teaching important elements such as eye/hand and eye/foot coordination, jumping, agility, motor skills, balance, inversions, weight transfers, rolling and twisting, the Motion Evolution program provides a physical literacy system.

• Mind Body Connections: The Motion Evolution program is based on scientific brain development principles. The result is people who are sharper, more attentive, less impulsive, and less fidgety. They can sustain their attention longer and sort through information faster.

• Personal Best: Based on only the personal best of each child, the Motion Evolution program encourages healthy mental and emotional approaches to measuring true progress.

• Nutritional Education: Nutritional Education must be integrated into a wellness and fitness program to be effective. The Motion Evolution program gently and playfully informs children about what, why, when and how to eat.
  

• Movement through Play and Teamwork: FUN is the mode in which children prefer to learn new things. Keeping this in mind, the Motion Evolution program utilizes games that develop a wide array of qualities in children. These include spatial awareness, memory, social skills, self control, leadership skills, listening, and more.

• Wellness Motivation: The Motion Evolution program creates a motivating physical activity environment for children. It delivers a high level of perceived competence and self esteem in each child.
