Functional Strength Training: A life-Changing Fitness Hack Ever heard someone hurt their back by carrying a heavy bag? Someone's wrist got dislocated due to pulling up some weight? Knee got tweaked while walking up the stairs? Well, Yes, right. Traumas from day to day life happen more often than people would admit. It happens because people don't train themselves enough. Even if they work out regularly, they won't benefit from them in regular life. Because the workout specifically works on muscles but not on movement.


This is why Functional strength training is essential- that incorporates replication of total body movements to keep us more potent, flexible and finely furnished to face dayto-day endeavours of strength. This may also seem corny at first, like other fitness terms. But, Functional training is a legit type of workout that everyone should do. So, let's see what it's like and how it works.

What Functional training looks like, and how it works? Functional training can be categorized as movement training or a movement continuum. As humans, we perform various activities, such as jogging, walking, running, climbing, lifting, bending, pushing, and many more. By mirroring the movements of our daily life, we build functional strength that can help increase our quality of life and reduce our risk of injury. This focuses on training several muscles and joints together rather than independently working on a particular muscle. Thus, a person becomes able to perform daily activities with greater ease. Functional training consists of various training exercises to target multiple muscles and joints. Some of them are as given below:


Metabolic training: This training can be done anywhere. Squats and snatches

are performed explicitly in metabolic activity to improve joints and leg muscles and reduce injury risk. This functional training strengthens your core and crushes calories. ●

Unilateral training: Despite working on two limbs, unilateral training works on

one limb at a time to improve strength. This training includes exercises like one-legged squats, tower push-ups, missing arm holds, leaning, etcetera. ●

Core stabilization: The core connects all the limbs, and a strong body is

necessary to maintain posture. It also stabilizes the spinal, so it's essential to keep it strong and flexible. For that, functional pieces of training like planks, oblique crunches, side planks, leg raises, reverse crunches, etcetera is performed. ●

Jump Training: Jump training, also known as Plyometric, basically targets

strengthening the lower body. Training includes exercises like squat thrusts, drop jumps, broad jumps, skater jumps, scissor jumps, dot drills, lateral box shuffles, etcetera. ●

Isometric Training: This training includes workouts like planks, low squats,

split squats, wall sits, calf raises hold, push-ups and other things to help you with knee pain, neck pain, lower back pain by strengthening, making them flexible. Apart from this, there's a variety of functional strength training exercises based on daily functioning and activities.
