Heard of ? It’s not as complicated as it’s sounds.

Functional training is training which has a purpose. More than that, functional training is focused on movement patterns that have a purpose.

The purpose can be related to getting better at everyday activities or preparing to compete in a sport such as our client Peter Jones (Masters Provincial lifesaver champion) is demonstrating.

Here he is engaging in functional athletic specific training with resistance power bands, looking to repeat his high performance results this coming summer under FITCO coach

Let’s talk !

In simple terms, mobility is the ability to actively achieve a range of motion or
mobility = flexibility + strength + control.

Having mobile joints enable us to be stronger and more resistant to injury.

But how do we train mobility?

The foundation of mobility practice is CARs (controlled articulate rotation). A CAR is a way to move your joint through its full range and remind your body it needs to maintain that.

Here we have Ian Gray demonstrating two Thoracic CARs exercises:

Exercise 1: Kneeling, while simultaneously squeezing isometrically the stability ball with his adductors and the medicine ball into his chest.

Exercise 2: Progressing to standing with straight astride leg position, applying the same irradiation forces.

Don’t we all want to feel more alive?

Too often our goals are for the short term, “I want to fit into that pair of jeans or perform well at a sports event”.

At FITCO, we look at things a little differently and shift our clients focus onto the long term.

Instead of a goal to loose “x” amount of weight in the next 12 weeks, our goal is for you to regain your health for the rest of your life!

The results will come but only with a commitment to the long-term process.

How do you put yourself in the long-term mindset?
