If you want to be strong, remain mobile and continue doing the things you love to do with ease, then you need to start prioritising functional strength training. This workout from Personal Training duo, Milad and Ryan, founders of Tailored Fit PT, serves as a great place to start, targeting your body’s major muscle groups and all you’ll need is two dumbbells.
‘Functional training’ is a bit of a buzzword in the fitness industry right now, but what does it actually mean? Simply put, it’s exercise that mimics everyday movements, helping you perform daily tasks with greater ease. Functional exercises focus on core movements—like squats, hinges, rows, pushes, and pulls—since these are the patterns we use in daily life. Not only do they make life easier, but they also enhance our balance, posture, and reduce the risk of injury. Plus, they help build strength and muscle, so you’re essentially ticking multiple fitness goals at once.
