The Better You Project is focused on functional training.
What is functional training? Functional training is based on exercises that follow the natural movements of the human body, working muscles and joints in a complete and integrated way.
One of its greatest advantages is that it can be fully adapted to each person’s physical condition. This makes it highly effective as a form of personal training.
It improves mobility, agility and balance, develops cardiovascular health, corrects posture, strengthens muscle mass and helps maintain a healthy weight.
Functional training uses specific equipment that adds controlled challenge to natural movements, allowing muscles and joints to work more deeply. These tools are not traditional gym machines, nor are they expensive, yet they deliver impressive results and allow for a wide variety of highly effective exercises.
Some of the materials commonly used in functional training include: fitball, box, step, resistance bands, elastic bands, TRX, dumbbells, kettlebel, bosun and bodyweight.
