Functional / Core Training
Functional training is a way of training our bodies to perform better at everyday tasks.. Why sit on an isolated exercise machine that only uses your triceps when you can simultaneously train the triceps, shoulders, chest, abdominals, obliques, and lower back?
Your muscles are designed to work together as they carry out movements. When you train functionally, you utilize multiple muscle groups, including your "core" muscles. The core refers to the muscles that lie deep within your abdominals and back that attach to the spine and pelvis.
During functional movements, your core muscles must stabilize your body so you can carry out the intended movement. This functional training also tightens and tones the abdominals, obliques, and lower back. Training functionally for your particular goals gets you practical results.
