Description
As
well as being THE concept in fitness and strength and conditioning, functional
training is also probably the most poorly understood concept in fitness.
Functional training is any exercise that
improves your ability to perform tasks
required in your day to day life, job or chosen sport - so that each movement included as
part of your workout mimics a range of motion or engages muscles that are
necessary to impact on performance - whether it be on the rugby pitch or simply the
ability to lift small children out of car seats.
Includes over 100 functional exercises and detailed pictures
and descriptions of all the techniques show you clearly how to apply them into
your training programme.
