FUNCTIONAL FITNESS FOR EVERY DAY ACTIVITY Do you ever say “I’m too tired or busy to exercise”? Or, “I just can’t get around like I used to”? If that’s you, then now is the time to incorporate functional fitness training into your exercise schedule. What is functional fitness training? It is the incorporation of exercises that simulate common movements to train your muscles so they work together in preparation for daily tasks. Dead lifts, assisted lunges with press and resisted squats with overhead press are great examples of functional fitness because they train your entire body by using multiple joints and muscles. You can do functional fitness training on your own or you can get the benefit of professional instruction in a fitness class where fitness balls, kettlebells and weights are incorporated. Start with yoga, Pilates or water aerobics, where your body weight is used for resistance
