"But what actually is ‘functional fitness'?" you ask. Well, it’s basically exercises that prepare and support the body for everyday life and its activities, typically through the use of free weights or your bodyweight. The exercises help with movements like pushing, pulling, carrying and so on. “While increasing your overall strength will help you move better, combining strength training with exercises that mirror the movements of daily activities can provide an even more effective training regimen,” says Healthline. These type of exercises can range from your basic bodyweight squat and plank, to the more advanced pull up and sled push/pull.
