Functional Training: Enhancing Daily Life Movement With Vigor

Benefits of Functional Training:

1.Improves Daily Activities: Whether it’s bending, lifting, or reaching, functional exercises help you perform daily tasks more efficiently and with less strain.

2.Enhances Stability and Balance:By training movements that challenge your balance and coordination, functional training reduces the risk of falls and injuries.

3.Increases Core Strength:Many functional exercises engage the core muscles, which are essential for maintaining posture and stability.

Examples of Functional Exercises:

1.Squats:Mimicking the motion of sitting down and standing up, squats strengthen the legs and core.

2.Lunges:Improving lower body strength and stability, lunges replicate movements like walking or climbing stairs.

3.Push-ups:Strengthening the chest, shoulders, and core, push-ups mimic pushing actions like opening doors or pushing a cart.

Getting Started with Functional Training:

1.Assessment and Goal Setting: Begin with a consultation at Vigor to assess your current fitness level and discuss your goals. This helps tailor a personalized functional training program for you.

2.Progressive Training:Start with basic movements and gradually increase intensity and complexity as you become more comfortable and stronger.

3. Variety and Adaptability:Incorporate different exercises and equipment such as kettlebells, resistance bands, and stability balls to keep your workouts challenging and engaging.
