What Does Functional Fitness Mean?
Functional fitness might sound like a buzzword, but it’s a type of exercise that can literally help you with your everyday activities. It refers to a type of training that prepares your body for real-life movements and activities, rather than just allowing you to excel at gym exercises.
Real Life Fitness
The idea behind functional fitness is simple, but powerful. It’s about training your muscles to help them do everyday tasks safely and efficiently. That means better body mechanics when you’re lifting, bending, twisting, or reaching – even sitting. From picking up a grocery bag to pushing a lawnmower, functional fitness trains your muscles to work together and helps prevent damage to your body.
Prevent Injuries and Improve Balance
Another big advantage of functional fitness training is that it can help prevent injury. By simulating common movements you might do at home, work or in sports, this type of training helps improve your balance, agility and muscle strength, lowering your risk of injury.
Anyone Can Do It
One of the best things about functional fitness is that it’s for everyone. From beginners to pro athletes, everyone can benefit from exercises that resemble their own daily activities or sport.
