What Is Functional Fitness – The Brief Version
- A method of exercise that enables you to better handle your day-to-day movements – this is why I say it’s different for everyone, although some similarities apply.
- A reflection of your body’s innate movement requirements, enabling optimal performance, ideal body weight, and enhanced energy/wellbeing

- Based on the body’s seven basic movement patterns: push, pull, twist, lunge, squat, bend, and gait (in no particular order)
