Functional Exercise Training

If you go to a local gym, it’s possible you’re already familiar with functional exercise training, or at least the term. That’s because this type of training is not just a beneficial way to approach exercise for people who have been prescribed physical therapy rehab, it’s great for everyone.

Functional training centers around improving your daily life and everyday movements to boost your function. The goal of functional exercises is to look at the activities most people do within their day and translate those motions and muscle exertions into exercises that build strength, range of motion, and flexibility to facilitate practical application.

To sum it up, functional training workouts are designed to make it easier to do your day-to-day activities so you’re more comfortable, enjoy your day more, and so you are less likely to injure yourself.

How Does Functional Training Work

Think about your daily movements, from opening your car door while balancing an armload to twisting and reaching to put away groceries. As people age, they are more at risk for injury from doing simple, everyday tasks like these because, over time, bodies suffer small injuries, repetitive use damage, and joints and muscles wear out. By focusing on your daily activities and creating a functional strength training program that supports your individual lifestyle, you can boost strength where you need it most. This can lead to a better quality of life now and long into the future.

A functional training workout typically isn’t exhausting and frustrating, like some workouts can be. Instead, it boosts your mood and energy level through endorphins while not completely taxing or draining your strength. The approach looks at multi-joint movements, like how your knees and hips work together when you walk or how your spine and shoulders cooperate to reach. It’s not about building big muscles and flexing; a great functional training program is about strengthening your muscles in a beneficial way that effectively supports you in your daily life.
