Event Overview

Functional training has it's roots in rehabilitation. Physical therapists, occupational therapists and other rehab specialists use functional movement patterns after an injury to aid a patient in her effort to return to functional independance. The fitness industry ran with the concept, and by the mid-nineties started doing their own version of functional training. 


This is good overall, but there is some confusion as to excatly what it means and how to apply it in the fitness world. 


In this lecture/workshop, I will clearly define what functional exercise is at it relates to the fitness industry, and how to use functional exercises in your own workout routine. You will learn:



  • Positive transfer

  • Negative transfer

  • Neutral transfer 

  • What the appropriate rep speed and rep range should be

  • Proper form 


This will be part lecture and part workshop. In the latter half we will do some functional exercises so dress accordingly.


Example exercises we will demonstrate:



  • Wood chop

  • Reverse wood chop

  • Cable press lunge

  • Lune pull

  • Lunge reverse wood chop

  • and more if time permits


After this class you will have a much better idea about what functional exercise is and how to incorporate it into your routine for even better results from your training program.
