Functional training is a type of exercise that focuses on movements that mimic real-life activities and improve overall physical fitness. These exercises target multiple muscle groups and often involve using bodyweight or equipment such as resistance bands, kettlebells, and medicine balls.
Functional training can benefit people of all fitness levels, including athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals recovering from injuries. It can help improve strength, balance, flexibility, coordination, and overall mobility. By targeting multiple muscle groups and improving functional movements, functional training can also help prevent injuries and improve daily activities such as lifting, carrying, and bending.
