Functional training aims to restore the body’s basic movement functions. Even as small children we did many activities. We crawled, we sat, we squatted in a perfect deep squat, and we had no trouble grabbing an object and throwing it at someone. In short, great preparation for training. The body automated these activities and created basic movement patterns and chains (that is, the order in which the muscles engage). Then we started going to school with a bag on one shoulder, sitting for 5-6 hours at school, later 8 at work, and now we have a “disease” called modern life. It’s a “disease” that affects almost every one of us, and the best cure is precisely functional training under the supervision of a personal trainer.
Just answer a few questions for yourself:
Can you get out of bed every morning without pain? Does your back often hurt from constant sitting, then your neck and later your head too? Do you find it hard to walk down the stairs, or even just to jog a little to catch the bus? Unfortunately, it’s nothing unusual… especially for those who don’t practise functional training regularly.
Movements that were the simplest and smoothest in childhood, we now do stiffly and tensely, often accompanied by pain. All of this stems from muscle imbalances that we’ve diligently cultivated all our lives. So the task of functional training isn’t just to eliminate these disorders and restore basic movement functions in the correct chain, but above all to prepare the body for everyday life, get into shape, improve posture and, most of all, feel better through regular training. You’ll achieve all this under the supervision of our experienced personal trainers from the Cvičisko team.
