More and more people are signing up to gyms {these days}, but worryingly {plenty of|heaps of|loads of} those people seem to believe that the quality of the gym they join depends more on the definition of the TV screens in the treadmills than any definition their torso might see from training {properly|correctly}. It {appears|seems|gives the impression|gives the look} that in the Fitness and {leisure} industry, far too much {recommendation|suggestion} is being placed on the leisure {rather than|as opposed to|in preference to|in place of} the fitness… but {thankfully|fortunately} there is another {substitute} for those who {truly|undoubtedly|surely} want to improve, and {a growing} number of people are realising this: enter Functional Fitness Training.
Now there {are diverse|are numerous} Internet articles and threads that {simply} debate the definition of functional fitness training… this is not one of them. I {understand} that any training {can be|might be|may be} classed as functional depending on what you’re training for. For example if you’re job description {includes|consists of} a {want to have|need to have} to {radical|drastic} biceps in the world then yes, 2 hours of bicep curls a day {might be|could be|may be} classed as functional training.
The {goal|objective|ambition|aspiration} here is not to argue the vagueness of the {expression|term}, but to {highlight} the {benefits|pros}, so for the {goal|objective|ambition|aspiration} of this article functional fitness training will {refer to|allude to} an exercise or group of exercises that mimic, adapt and {enable|permit|allow} the improved performance of life’s daily {tasks} for the majority of people, with a reserve left for individual goals.
Here a goal {might be|could be|may be}, and {mostly|usually|commonly|frequently|typically|normally} is, to improve quality of life outside the gym; that is to have an increased {capability|ability|capacity|skill} for {recreation} and play, whether this be a grandmother having fun with her grandchildren, or a teenager playing football.
Life’s daily {tasks} include movement in the 6 degrees of {freedom}, namely back/forward, up/down, left/right, roll, pitch, and yaw. Or more {especially|mainly|specifically|principally} to human movement, push/pull, jump/squat, step, twist, and bend. So functional training is training that seeks to improve as {numerous|many|lots} of these movements as possible {through|by means of} one or a series of exercises. So consider functional fitness training defined… for this article at least!
So, if there exists functional fitness training, does this mean {a number of} training is un-functional? The {answer to} this is {a definite|a particular} yes… and unfortunately it’s all around us, and we’ll be writing an article on the topic of un-functional training {in a while|shortly|in short}, so hold tight.
The {numerous|many|lots} benefits of functional fitness training
Much of what {goes on} in gyms today is impossible to recreate outside of that {environment}. Functional fitness training {enables|allows|facilitates} you to {create|develop} strength in a controlled {environment} and then apply it to everyday life outside of that controlled {environment}.
Many favorable improvements gained from functional fitness training are down to {the amount of} ‘fitness bases’ covered in any one session. Indeed in one movement you {might be|could be|may be} improving strength, coordination, balance, agility, {accuracy|exactness|precision}, flexibility, endurance and stamina. There are {very few} activities that can {produce} an improvement in both neurological fitness (balance, coordination, agility, accuracy) and physical {capabilities|aptitudes|skills} (strength, flexibility, endurance, stamina). This is achieved {by using|by utilizing|by the usage of} a large number of the body’s joints and muscles at once, training your body as one unit… (Your body was {created to|designed to} be used like this!)
Training your muscles to work together this way {means} more focus is on training movements {rather than|as opposed to|in preference to|in place of} isolating individual muscles. Anytime you’re body is moving {rather than|as opposed to|in preference to|in place of} remaining stationary you rely on {dynamic} balance {instead of|as opposed to|in preference to|in place of} static balance, and {dynamic} balance requires {an excellent|a fantastic|an amazing|a great} deal of core stability amongst other things. Functional fitness training will only seek to {furthermore|additionally|as well|further|in addition} improve core stability and strength, which has the knock-on {outcome|end result|effect||final result} of improving most aspects of your moving life, in {singular|specific}, improved intra-abdominal {pressure}, posture, and injury prevention. So, functional fitness training boasts {numerous|multiple|many} physiological {benefits|pros}, but there is more to it than this…
One of the most {essential|vital|important} aspects of functional fitness training is that it {can be|might be|may be} scaled to suit anybody’s level of {ability|capacity|aptitude|skill}. Intensity, duration, and resistance {can be|might be|may be} altered on {all of the} movements {trained|formed} to match the individual levels of fitness and {enable|permit|allow} everyone, and {somebody} to get the most out of their training. On top of this, functional fitness training is {constantly|continually|systematically} varied and is {very|extremely|markedly|highly} often different every session, a trait that should be {absolutely|completely|entirely|definitely|directly} necessary in any fitness plan or {calendar|time table|diary}. The {ability|capacity|aptitude|skill} to not get bored with your training is a luxury that {very few} people training in conventional gyms have.
Finally, and {perhaps} most importantly, is the return from your exercise investment {that you get} from functional fitness training. Your exercise investment {includes|consists of} the {money} you {spend} (on your gym membership, kit, nutrition, and travel) and the time/effort you put into your training. As alluded to {earlier|previously}, for most people using conventional gyms the value is more in the luxuries and less in the fitness aspects, where as, {when it comes to|when we talk about} functional fitness training, the return you get is the {expand|skyrocket|jumpstart} in your {capability|ability|capacity|skill} to enjoy your recreations and play having reached your goals. {in a while|shortly|in short}, it gives you an increased work {capability|ability|capacity|skill} over all fitness domains, which {means} in any given time period you can do more of {whatever} it is you {want|need} to do. {basically|essentially|principally}, functional fitness training is real fitness training!
