Discovering the magic of functional training: Boosting my lower leg strength and balance. 💪

Ever wondered how changes in calf muscles might influence our Achilles tendons? 🤔 I jumped into functional training to explore its effect on my calf and Achilles tendon balance. Before starting, the difference between my left and right side was evident. But after my workouts? Impressive balance achieved! ✅

📈 Calves: From 48% balance ➡️ 97%
📈 Achilles Tendon Symmetry: From 64% ➡️ 90%

It's amazing to see the interconnectedness of our body parts – when one part changes, others feel the effect. 💪🔄
