Increases the Ease of Everyday Life By improving the overall function of your body, boosting muscle strength and endurance, and developing muscle and body stability everyday activities can be completed with more ease. Compared to conventional training, the benefits of functional fitness tend to outweigh everything else because it’s actually targeting the movements we are doing every day. This specific approach to fitness helps your quality of life to be increased in a way that’s practical, effective and easy. “I’d recommend functional training to anyone because it's easy, low impact, helps with joint pain and increases the ease of everyday life”, says Gavin. “Who wouldn’t want that?”

Struggling to manage time constraints in functional training? Here are three effective strategies to optimize your sessions: set specific goals for each workout to maintain focus, streamline exercises by incorporating compound movements that target multiple muscle groups, and embrace interval timing to ensure strict rest periods and enhance productivity.

If time is tight in your functional training, streamline your approach. For example, instead of spending an hour on isolated exercises, hit something like kettlebell swings or squats with a press. These moves work multiple muscles at once and give you more in less time. Think of it as squeezing the juice out of every minute—15 to 20 minutes of focused effort can be more effective than an hour of scattered exercises. Train smart and keep it simple.

1. Prioritize high-impact exercises that target multiple muscle groups in shorter sessions. 2. Break workouts into smaller, manageable chunks throughout the day to fit busy schedules. 3. Use interval training to maximize results in less time with focused, intense efforts. 4. Set clear, realistic goals to avoid overcommitting and stay consistent with training. 5. Incorporate functional movements into daily tasks, making fitness a part of your routine. 6. Streamline your workout plan by eliminating unnecessary exercises and focusing on essentials.

When you are struggling to manage time constraints taking a deep dive through an individual time audit is highly effective. Ask yourself these questions: - What do you spend the bulk of your time doing? - What area did you spend too much time? - Where would you like to spend more time? - What is getting in the way preventing you from spending more time in that area? - What will you do moving forward to prioritize spending time in this area?
