If you want to improve your whole-body health, strength, and wellness while making everyday activities safer and easier, functional fitness training is for you. F45 Training Northwest St. Charles offers workouts and training following this philosophy. Based in St. Charles, MO, they are part of a worldwide network of gyms focused on improving your day-to-day life with their comprehensive exercise programs.

What Is Functional Fitness?

When you visit an ordinary gym, you may lift weights or do repetitive exercises designed to strengthen one muscle group at a time. However, your muscles aren't designed to work one at a time in real life; instead, your whole body works together for most tasks. When only some of those muscles have been strengthened, you are more prone to injuries and more likely to get tired or fail at tasks. Your functional fitness isn't determined by how much weight you can lift or curl; it's about whether you can successfully and comfortably do tasks you need to do to get through the day, like moving and lifting boxes at work without throwing out your back, or being able to run down to the mailbox without getting winded.

What Kind of Functional Fitness Training Is Available?

Functional fitness training can include full-body workouts like yoga and tai chi, which promote movement, balance, and flexibility along with strength. Certain exercises like squats and multidirectional lunges can also contribute to your functional fitness since they mimic common activities. When you visit an F45 Training Studio, you can participate in team workouts and challenges designed to keep your whole body in shape.
