The purpose of functional fitness training is to help your muscles learn to work together. When muscle groups are exercised together, they learn to perform everyday activities with efficiency. Muscle groups which have been strengthened work efficiently, make it easier to lift groceries, pick up low objects, and move without injury.
Functional fitness movements that use multiple muscles and joints prepare the body for common activities such as vacuuming, shoveling, and squatting to pick up a low object. There are five movement patterns that must be mastered. They include hinging, rotational movements, pushing/pulling, lunging, and squatting. Students start by using their own body weight for resistance and weights may be added later in the training.
