I've known only one-exercice.
I have improved my gross motor skills quite much since my childhood.
I have been doing karate for more than a year now and it improved my gait a lot. I was told I walked as ET before-now I am told I walk like a soldier :lol:
My mother says that I still am clumsy and make clumsy movements, and my karate teacher says the same and that I still move my legs in an heavy way when I kick, but both state that my overall gross motor skills have improved.
A good improvement, considering that at the age of 8 I couldn't even stand up on only one leg without immediately collapsing to the ground, and I wasn't able to catch a ball 'till the age of 14, even if it was passed to me very slowly and it was very easy to catch even for other kids who weren't good at ball sports.

With fine motor skills it's another story. I have indeed improved them-looking at my old school notebooks, I found out that my handwriting was impossible to understand and I drew terribly-but they still suck, but now at least I can draw from decently to well and people can read what I write (more or less) :lol:
