Comments on: Functional Strength Training to Make Life Easier http://www.tryingfitness.com/functional-strength-training-to-make-life-easier/ Because you've tried everything else Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:14:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Brandon Richey http://www.tryingfitness.com/functional-strength-training-to-make-life-easier/comment-page-1/#comment-38427 Brandon Richey Sat, 27 Mar 2010 00:49:04 +0000 http://www.tryingfitness.com/?p=1087#comment-38427 I totally agree with this post. The phrases "functional training" and "core training" are very popular these days. What people fail to understand with working out is the point of it. You have got to be able to perform basic tasks related to movement oriented tasks. A lack of this "function" is what causes people to get injured, causes long term health problems, and it limits people in knowing what it means to be fit. You can't get fit without having a significant base level of strength to perform any tasks. It's simple physics. I love kettlebell training for this very reason. Nice post, keep spreading the gospel. If you want feel free to check out my blog sometime and leave your comments. I totally agree with this post. The phrases “functional training” and “core training” are very popular these days.

I always loved free weights though. They're more hardcore. :D I find that weight machines were always dangerous but they do have good impacts on joints. I always loved free weights though.

I agree, a strong core makes or breaks your routine. And free weights, wow. I was always a user of the machines, and then one day I tried the free weights. It is definitely a lot harder and heavier to use. I felt my strength going up after a few sessions with the weights than I ever did with the machines.

I'm starting to do more free weights. The machines limit your range plus you get more resistance from the free weights which tears the muscles and tones up more! You've got to work your core. I always tell people your core is the central movemnt of the body and you have to take care of it! Thanks for sharing! Jen :) Great post! I’m starting to do more free weights.
