Functional Training

Trading Injuries for Short Term Gains

Exercise and training should make people feel, look, and perform better. If any training method makes people feel chronically drained, have beat up injuries/joints, or does not produce life changing results then it should be revised or abandoned. After writing these statement they seem pretty common sense and straight forward. However, I was reminded lately how, in practice, few people in our culture believe them.

For most people exercise and fitness are used to achieve a cosmetic goal (like losing weight or getting abs). In the pursuit of this cosmetic goal people often sacrifice longevity and set themselves up for chronic injuries. After months or years, people might see some progress towards their goals, but the tax on their body is high. Short term gains for a big chronic debt of joint pain and injuries. Most exercise programs are a horrible investment!

My training has always aimed at giving people good short and long term results. My clients are able to lose weight, reduce their biological age, get stronger, while also overcoming many long term joint injuries. Above is a sneak peak into some of my training methods.

Connie Gets Strong

Please watch this video:

This is an amazing example of progressive strength improvements. When Connie first started sled pulls/ pushes she could only do 25 lbs plus the weight of the sled. Now she can push a sled that is over 150 pounds. This kind of training is changing her life for the better. She is able to do so much more at the gym, but more importantly she is able to do more difficult tasks at her home (she loves outdoor work). Connie is fit and ready for about anything.

Strength is part the equation for happiness. It is hard to have a happy life when your body is too deconditioned to do what you want.

There is so much involved in this move. It is one of my favorite exercises and is a great way to keep functional strength. In other words, if is an exercise that when used will enable a person to get up and down from the ground with grace. This ability is something we need to keep strong during our entire lives.
