Functional fitness trains your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work, or in sports. While using various muscles in the upper and lower body at the same time, functional fitness exercises also emphasize core stability.
CONSTANTLY VARIED
Always changing the workouts, never letting your body adapt. This is why functional fitness is great for getting results. Your body never gets used to anything so you never reach those plateaus.
Functional Movements
Are movements humans were built for. Movements that are natural and safe. Movements we use in everyday life such as Air squat, Front squat, Overhead squat, Shoulder press, Push press, Push jerk, Deadlift, Sumo deadlift, and the Med ball clean. This is NOT standing on a Bosu ball on one leg doing bicep curls. This is NOT sitting in a machine that holds you in place while you execute a movement that isolates one muscle leaving your body unbalanced with useless strength. These are movements that promote neurological and hormonal responses, leading to better health, actual strength, actual core stability, agility, and flexibility.
High Intensity
Many people think intensity is screaming and yelling and looking like you are going to pop a vein in your neck. This is not intensity although it may sometimes be the result of intensity. Intensity is synonymous with power (Force multiplied by distance divided by time.) This translates into exercise by converting it to: the load, multiplied by the bar path/movement, divided by the time. In basic language we are saying power/intensity is how much weight you can move over the longest distance in the shortest amount of time, while of course maintaining proper form
and technique.
