  • Week 3-4: Add cross-lateral movements and basic coordination challenges
  • Week 5+: Gradually increase complexity and combine multiple activities

🎯 Key Principles

  • Consistency over Intensity: Regular practice is more important than perfect performance
  • Progressive Challenge: Gradually increase difficulty as skills improve
  • Enjoy the Process: Focus on fun and exploration, not perfection
  • Mix It Up: Rotate between different types of activities

⚠️ Important Reminders

  • Start Slowly: Begin with easier variations and build up gradually
  • Listen to Your Body: Rest when needed and avoid overexertion
  • Stay Safe: Use appropriate equipment and practice in safe environments
  • Be Patient: New neural pathways take time to develop
