Try Functional Fitness

April 9, 2007

Fastest growing classes these days are Yoga, Stability Ball and Balance Board / BOSU classes.  These classes provide toys or equipment that integrate the whole body in each exercise.  This has shown long-term benefits for functioning in every day life.  Another name for this is “Functional Fitness”!   Functional fitness is more versatile.  It emphasizes the integrative work, for example, combining the lower and upper body in an exercise and then including a twisting movement.   We all have jobs or daily activities that we do that moves the whole body at once.  By  incorporating these classes into our workout program prepares the body better for our every day activities. It is still all good to jump on the treadmill and do our free weights.  But step up your workout with some of these classes to see better results functionally speaking as you go through your normal routine.
