Functional fitness mimics how you move in everyday life, so you'll naturally feel and move better in your day-to-day. It's all about movement patterns that mimic daily activities. Functional training is built around bending and lifting (also called the hip hinge), lunging, pushing, pulling, and rotation.

Doing these movement patterns over and over again leads to neural adaptations or the mind-muscle connection, the more often you perform a movement, the neural pathways become stronger and 'talk' to your muscles to help them work together to complete the movement more effectively to make you stronger and avoid injury!
