I'm not talking about proper lifting form, I'm talking about proper human movement. We perform these archetypal movement patterns every day throughout our entire lives. Every time you sit down in a chair you're performing a squat. Every time you pick up your bag off the ground, you're performing a deadlift.
And to say "that's just not going to happen" is a self-fulfilling prophecy. We're not teaching people these skills, therefore we wouldn't be able to teach these skills.
I completed a minor in music and I still had to take more general liberal arts classes for my CS degree. They can afford to include a class that teaches about how to correctly use and care for one's body.
- shanusmagnus 10y agoIt's less a self-fulfilling prophecy than drawing on a bunch of professional experience with trying to get people to do things that would be vitally important to their health.
