The Recipe for a
WRITTEN BY MATT GUNNING, OWNER, GUNNING ELITE TRAINING
My mindset has changed a lot since I first got into the business of fitness. I used to think that the harder the workout was, the better results you would get. Ten years later, so many things have changed with my own training as well as that of the clients I train. A mentor of mine said, “If you haven’t changed your program in 10 years, you were either way ahead at one point or way behind now...and I’m pretty sure I know which one it is.” 44 | SARATOGA FAMILY | WINTER 2021
This statement is so true. Fitness has evolved so much in the past 20 years. It has gone from bodybuilding/machines to more of a functional approach. The term “functional training” gets thrown around a lot, and can mean different things to different people. For me, functional training means being more durable and able to handle the stresses of life. Let’s face it: life is a lot busier now and with the advanced technology of cell phones, video games and various other things, we are much more sedentary beings. This causes a plethora of issues from body aches to many other more serious health problems.
