There are eight functional movements that we recommend one should include in their workout, these are.Ħ. On performing functional training exercises, our body will automatically become athletic. It is the unnatural routines of modern life such as sitting all day in front of a computer, which cause muscle weakness and poor posture.
Nature has designed our body to be athletic and function smoothly in order to perform tasks necessary for survival. Humans at that time had strong athletic bodies, just because we used to use our bodies to carry out our daily chores. Imagine the old times before prehistory, when we did not have machines. Functional training involves performing exercises based on the basic functional movements that our human body needs to perform to carry out daily activities. Therefore this approach of splitting workout by muscle groups and making sure we target each muscle group is too cumbersome for most of us.Ī simpler and better approach is to design workout around functional training exercises. To complicate things further, many exercises, as we will learn later, target multiple muscle groups and to varied degrees. There are a number of ways proposed to divide our body’s major muscle groups we propose to divide them into.įor someone who does not have a degree in exercise science it will be quite difficult to precisely know which exercise targets which muscle group.
Most popular approach followed is to categorize different exercises based on the muscles they target and then select a few for each muscle group.
#JESSE ATHLEAN X HOW TO#
How to make sure that our workout targets all the major muscle groups in our body? The answer is: by incorporating functional training exercises. However, we came to the conclusion that there was a potential in to make it even more functional, thus improving the carry-over effect to other activities. Corebar training has always been functionally oriented, meaning that we focus on performing exercises in all anatomical planes, with various starting positions, and with different velocity. Later on it’s been incorporated in “normal” training and “pre-hab”, and is now frequently used for various types of exercise. It has its origin in rehabilitation and was first introduced by occupational and physical therapists. Functional training means that it’s transferable to either activities in daily life or a sport. Nowadays, functional training is the new «buzz word» within the fitness industry. For 2014 H.I.I.T training is the number ONE fitness trend in our industry. Acknowledging these new-found results, we developed Corebar HIT.
Research had shown that smaller bouts of training on high intensities (intervals) were beneficial for improving cardio respiratory fitness. A couple of years ago a new trend appeared H.I.I.T: High Intensity Interval Training. A decade ago “core training” was the newcomer, and is now a well-known term used in various types of training Corebar being one of them.
Like all industries the fitness industry has trends and “buzz words”. COREBAR FIT Functional Integration Training Launching January 2014 at your local gym by Team Corebar.
