 Bridging the gap
From: Traditional training techniques
To: Functional training

Rage against the machines-

  Seltorized machines have done a fantastic job of introducing millions of people to resistance training in a safe and simple training environment. They allow individuals to safely and confidently begin a resistance-training program with little instruction and a feeling of insecurity. Although these once sedentary individuals are now active , their progression potential is limited with a machine based training program while the potential presented through a more functional and athletic training style is limitless. Machines focus mainly on isolated , large muscle movements and do not encourage stabilizing muscles and nervous system interaction to execute the movement . Functional training principles promote multi-joint movements in various planes of motion allowing better transfer of the benefits into real life situations. Workouts are performed in less time with double the results incorporating specialized cardio training techniques without having to slave away on a cardio machine!

 

Sport science research and practical exploration continues to demonstrate that traditional fitness and strength training philosophies are counterproductive to developing functional and athletic strength. Functional training evolves resistance training from only training muscle to training muscle and movement. exercises that imitate daily movements , a neuromuscular training philosophy that replaces the leg extension and the bicep curl with exercises that will activate a variety of muscles in one movement and less time!

 

We live , work and play in a 3 dimensional world that requires us to move in different planes and multiple directions , and yet most adult fitness programs involve jumping onto cardio machines that go nowhere and performing strength training exercises that don’t even hold their own body up . This is perfect training for sitting at a desk , driving in a car and laying on the couch watching television , and it can make you look better in the mirror , but if you want to have the strength and ability to actually do something , it is not particularly useful. Functional strength will help create artificial athleticism , developing better body awareness , proprioception and kinaesthetic awareness that produce real life fitness!
