Practising any kind of sport<\/strong> on a regular basis is always a highly recommended activity because exercise brings a wealth of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health benefits<\/strong>. However, most training is focused on achieving a specific goal: gaining muscle, losing weight, or increasing strength or stamina.<\/p>\n Functional training<\/strong> does not belong to this category because, as Francisco Pay\u00e1n, Fitness Supervisor at SHA, tells us, \u2018It does not focus on a specific muscle group, but works the body as a whole<\/strong>. Unlike traditional training, which is based on movements that we hardly ever do in everyday life and is usually divided into areas (one day, pectorals, and the next, the lower body), functional training is inspired by common movements that we do naturally in our daily lives,<\/strong> such as sitting, bending, climbing stairs, or carrying shopping bags\u2019.<\/p>\n Functional training is a medium-intensity<\/strong> exercise that can be adapted to any age and fitness level. It is therefore the perfect choice for people who are not looking for a specific goal, such as losing weight, but simply want to feel good and be healthy<\/strong>. Another of its advantages is that it can be practised both in the gym and outdoors and involves equipment, such as bosu balls, fitballs, or mini trampolines, to make the session more enjoyable and fun.<\/p>\n
