Functional Strength - Amy Boyce
What Is Functional Strength?
Health and fitness fads come and go all the time but unfortunately not all of them are worth your time and effort. Some of them don’t work, some of them are overhyped and some of them are just plain dangerous.
But ‘functional strength’ is different. While functional strength is very much in vogue right now, it’s not a ‘fad’ by any means. In fact, functional strength is the opposite of a fad and it’s a step in the right direction for all of fitness.
That’s because functional strength take it all back: takes it all back to the reasons that most of us started training in the first place. Or at least the reasons we should be training.
Because let’s be honest: far too many people train ‘for the mirror’. How many guys do you see pulling their t-shirt up in front of the mirror after a set of sit-ups? How many women do you see on treadmills wearing the tiniest pants in the world and barely working up a sweat?
Do you think these people are training for the right reasons?
And how about the guy who is so ridiculously muscular that he can’t touch his toes any more without busting a gut?
This isn’t fitness – not really. And that’s what functional strength addresses.
As the name suggests, functional strength is strength that is functional. In other words, it’s strength that you can use. So you’re not trying to look strong or look health – you’re trying to be those things.
This is the difference between training like a gym bro and training like Bruce Lee. Which would you prefer?
And don’t worry if you’re not super fit, or if you don’t have any interest in becoming an elite athlete: functional strength is important for everyone. Functional strength helps you in every aspect of your life because it gives you better control over your body and your environment. Functional fitness extends to things like flexibility, correct breathing technique and posture. All these things enable you to move with less pain, more grace and more
