Functional Fitness

Do you get tired going up a set of stairs?

Are you sore after a day at work?

Do you struggle with back pain?

One of the top fitness trends for 2016 is Functional Fitness.

Functional fitness is targeted at improving your required body movements used to move throughout the day. Basic things such as, getting out of bed, walking up/down stairs, lifting a bag of groceries, getting in and out of your car, and sitting in a chair throughout the day are just a few examples.

Many people believe that they are able to do these simple things without much difficulty. But let us analyze further. After a long day at work or at home doing basic chores are you tired? Do you need to sit down and rest your back? Maybe you wake up the next day and feel sore.

Functional fitness was introduced for these struggles. The focus is to strengthen the body to enable full movement without pain.

The target is to work on the large muscle groups in the range of motion that is used for everyday activities. Function Fitness is simple and the concept is easy to understand and use.

The great thing about functional fitness is that is works for every level of fitness from beginner to athlete.
