Probably the best-known region of the brain associated with motor control (movement) is the primary motor cortex. The primary motor cortex is located in the precentral gyrus, just anterior to the central sulcus.

However, the pre-motor areas of the frontal lobe, as well as the cerebellum are also very involved with motor control.

The cerebellum coordinates movement because it controls muscle coordination and balance. It is located in the lower back of the brain above the pons. The cerebellum sends the instructions/messages to the cerebral motor cortex that causes your muscles to move.
