Description: Gross motor activities involve large-muscle movements like running, jumping, throwing, climbing, and walking that build strength, coordination, and cardiovascular fitness. They support development in children (balance, motor planning, social play), maintain functional fitness in adults (endurance, posture, injury prevention), and preserve mobility and fall-prevention skills in older adults. To make them accessible for all ages, adapt intensity and complexity, provide safe surfaces and supervision, and include playful, goal-oriented tasks that can be scaled up or down. #adapt #gross-motor #all-ages #playful #play
