The Powerhouse of Fitness - What’s Functional Strength Training?

Okay, let's dive into what functional strength training really means! Imagine the muscles you use when you're picking up your backpack, playing sports, or even doing chores around the house. Functional strength training is all about making those muscles stronger and better at doing those everyday activities. It’s like giving your body a toolbox full of tools that help you lift, pull, push, and move smoother and easier, no matter what you’re doing.

In functional strength training, we don't just focus on one muscle at a time. Nope, we work on lots of muscles together, just like when you’re climbing a tree or playing tug-of-war. We use exercises that might remind you of real-life actions. Think about a squat – it’s not just a gym move. You're squatting when you sit down in a chair and get back up. Or a lunge, which is a lot like reaching forward to tie your shoe. These moves help your body get better at doing what you need it to do every day.

But here's the cool part – while you’re making your muscles smarter and stronger for daily tasks, you're also getting a fantastic workout that helps your whole body. This means you can run faster, jump higher, and even sit straighter in class.

At The Combine, we mix these awesome exercises into our group classes, making working out fun and super effective. You’re not just getting strong; you’re training to be a superhero in your own life. And who wouldn't want that?
