Functional Fitness – a fitness revolution

Functional fitness – the new trend in strength training. Muscles are generally exercised together in groups and not separately in functional training. This style of training places an emphasis on strengthening deep core muscles and muscle stabilisers. Exercising the muscles in your torso improves your posture and can even prevent back pain.

Suspension trainers are the ideal fitness equipment for core training. The body compensates automatically for imbalances when exercising with suspension trainers. This challenges your trunk muscles and makes functional training with suspension trainers so effective.

Suspension trainers – a wider range of exercises

The number of exercises one can perform with suspension trainers is enormous. They are ideal for strength training, increasing flexibility and improving stamina, balance and coordination.

Suspension training is not solely intended for pure muscle building but rather for improving the interaction of muscle groups overall. This approach is also the central idea behind functional training wherein exercises should offer help in practical, everyday situations and not just contrived predicaments which challenge only a single muscle in isolation.

Suspension training is thus a holistic style of training. Speed and awareness of one’s own body are exercised at the same time as pure strength. Training DVDs can provide examples of possible exercises and complete workouts with a suspension trainer.
