The Rise of Functional Fitness
When it comes to functional fitness, equipment can play a significant role in enhancing the effectiveness of your workouts. While some people may think that functional fitness only requires bodyweight movements, there are several pieces of equipment that can be used to help you target specific muscle groups and improve your overall fitness level. Here are some examples of equipment commonly used in functional fitness:
Kettlebells: A versatile tool that can be used for a variety of exercises, including swings, snatches, and Turkish get-ups. Kettlebells can help improve grip strength, core stability, and overall power.
Medicine Balls: These are weighted balls that can be used for a variety of movements such as wall balls, slams, and twists. They are great for improving explosive power, coordination, and conditioning.
Resistance Bands: These bands are great for adding resistance to bodyweight movements such as pull-ups, squats, and lunges. They can also be used to assist with certain movements such as pull-ups and dips.
TRX Suspension Trainer: This is a portable training tool that uses straps and bodyweight to create resistance. It can be used for a variety of exercises such as rows, push-ups, and lunges. It is great for improving core stability, balance, and overall strength.
While these are just a few examples of equipment commonly used in functional fitness, it is important to note that you don't necessarily need any equipment to start incorporating functional movements into your workouts. However, if you do decide to invest in equipment, make sure you get proper instruction on how to use it safely and effectively.
