Imagine your feet are glued firmly to the floor. Can you turn your body into a giant starfish, a slim pencil, or a twisty pretzel without taking a single step?
You do this using non-locomotor movements — movements where your body stays anchored in one spot while your joints and muscles do all the action.

The Two Master Moves

To build any body shape, you combine two basic actions: bending (folding at a joint like your knees or elbows) and stretching (extending your limbs as long as they can go).
What happens when you use these two actions to spread as far out to the sides as possible?

Wide Shapes

A wide shape happens when you push your arms, legs, or torso far away from the center of your body to take up lots of horizontal room.
You can make a wide shape by stretching both arms straight out to the sides like airplane wings, or by bending your knees deep into a wide sumo squat.
Now, what if you do the exact opposite and pull everything in tight?

Narrow Shapes

A narrow shape pulls your limbs close to the center line of your body so you take up as little side-to-side space as possible.
