WHY FUNCTIONAL TRAINING? 💪🏼🌿
Your butt isn’t just there to look pretty.
What good is a sculpted butt if you can’t squat down to pick up your keys? What’s the point of being able to bicep curl a 20kg dumbbell with perfect form, but picking up your child makes you pull a muscle? Or reaching your ‘goal weight’ but then not having the energy to take the stairs?
Not only does functional fitness improve the quality of your life, but you will also notice a change in overall strength and stability.
Functional fitness is about preparing you for life, rather than something specific like a big race or a lifting competition.
This type of exercise mimics your everyday actions while engaging multiple muscle groups.
Our bodies were developed with the intention of having all of our muscles work together and support each other to accomplish certain movements and tasks. Isolating certain muscle groups to add mass was not what our bodies were naturally made for.
Functional fitness has a number of benefits-
• Improves health and athletic performance
• Improves everyday life: by improving the overall function of your body, boosting muscle strength and endurance, and developing muscle and body stability, everyday activities can be completed with ease.
• Greater muscle memory
• Increased mobility: Functional fitness helps to improve balance, coordination, flexibility, muscle strength, and agility. All of these components will leave you more mobile, which in turn helps with your day-to-day life.
• Improves balance and posture: Since functional fitness is all about training the body to make the muscles work together instead of targeted training, overall strength and balance will improve.
• Reduced risk of injury
