Functional Training Means Functional Life
What is functional training? Why is this the big buzz word in fitness? Because doing a hundred bicep curls may give you big strong biceps, but your back still goes out when you pick up a heavy load of laundry. Bicep curls do help you to be strong, and I am a big proponent of traditional strength training, but functional training is just that; functional. We use lot’s of muscle groups every day to go about our business. Housework, climbing stairs, picking up a child or working in a factory, all require many different muscles to get the work done. To really, truly strength train for all these everyday movements, choose workouts that use multi-muscle groups and that train the body for our every day use. That’s functional training.
