If you want to exercise now, you will definitely think of going to the gym to practice equipment and muscles to make your body fit. Then you might as well think about it, do you need only one muscle activity to achieve any movement of your body? In daily life, do we need to do some lying on the bench? Do you need extra baffles in your life to keep your body stable? Does everyone need very strong muscles?

The answers to the above questions are all negative. In our daily life, we only need a healthy and beautiful body to cope with all kinds of things in life. Therefore, not everyone needs bodybuilding training, but everyone needs functional training.

What are the benefits and advantages of functional training compared with traditional fitness programs? Traditional training plan VS functional training, which is stronger and which is weaker, let's take a look!

1. Strong but not big

The biggest feature of neuromuscular adaptability is that people can become stronger, more explosive and more flexible without making them bigger or heavier. In the cash society, many people like to wear thin clothes and strip off their flesh. Functional training can greatly help people with this idea to practice their desired figure. At the same time, enhancing the coordination between multiple muscles can disperse the load of the body and reduce the fatigue of a single muscle.

2. Improve sports performance

We can better improve our sports skills through functional training. For example, the hard pull of one-legged kettle bell can effectively exercise our core stability and hip stretching ability, thus improving our body's take-off ability and take-off height; Through agile ladder training, we can effectively improve the agility of our ankles, so that we can have a larger defensive area and retreat faster on the basketball court.

Since functional training has so many benefits, let's introduce some common tools for functional training.
