Functional Fitness

Functional training is a way to exercise where everything you do in the workout mimics the moves of daily activities. The point is to achieve a fitter body by improving the ability to perform everyday activities.

Instead of targeting one specific muscle group, functional fitness engages multiple muscles, just as it happens when you try to reach for an overhead shelf or bend down to lift or put something on the floor.

Understanding functional fitness and why it works is important in order to help yourself progress through your exercise. There are mistakes you can make, impressions you’ll receive from others and expectations you’ll want to achieve.
