Our bodies are excellent examples of function, designed to complete an action continuously; even when we are sleeping or unaware. How brilliant! The word ‘functional’ refers to something working well with a purpose. ‘Fitness’ is the condition of being physically fit and healthy, the quality to fulfill a particular role or task.
‘Functional’ is a key word and action examined from the inside out, literally from the inside of the gym to the outside. The present exceptional circumstances of social distancing have caused us to re-focus on the importance of functional fitness in different populations, including young and older adults. The best practices are vital for every age. Movement patterns, such as squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling, hingeing, rotating, walking, and running are utilized in everyday activities. Doing these movements in our fitness classes keeps us strong and capable for every day life.
