Functional Training!

People always ask me, "What is Functional Training?"

Functional training is a form of training that utilizes one's own body weight, in all planes of motion, to optimize the adaptive responses needed for a sport or activity.

Most sports involve posture, balance, stability and mobility. The majority of the sports involve the body flexing, extending and rotating in many directions. The majority of these sports are played upright, on the feet, and a person's ability to be mobile and stable depends on how functionally they have trained.

Power is the combination of speed, strength and agility. Power can be defined by the force applied multiplied by the distance transitioned divided by the time it took to perform the exercise or task.

Without stability and mobility in the body's joints, it is impossible to apply the force and/or change of direction necessary for both safe and successful performance.
Functional Training will ensure that the athlete has stability, mobility and power to perform with speed, agility and strength.

If you are an athelete and want to optimize your health and sports performance, I encourage you to incorporate functional training into you training regimen. This will give you a major advantage over your competition.

A Strong Foundation will always withstand the Strongest of Storms!
