Functional
Physical fitness is defined as a general state of health and
well-being. The ability to function well on different sports and
activities.To challenge yourself and break free with the norms of fitness training, there are more
and more people discovering the benefits of cross-training.
Cross-training takes advantage of the various elements, movements,
exercises done at a relatively high intensity. A type of training that
tests not only your physical capability, it challenges your mindset,
your will, your determination to succeed.
By spreading the cumulative level of orthopedic stress over additional
muscles and joints, individuals are able to exercise more frequently and
for longer duration without excessively overloading particularly
vulnerable areas of the body (e.g., knees, hips, back, shoulders, elbows
and feet). Individuals who want to lose weight and body fat should engage in an
exercise program that enables them to safely burn a significant number
of calories. Research has shown that such a goal, in most instances, is
best accomplished when individuals exercise for relatively long
durations (i.e., more than 30 minutes) at a moderate level of intensity
(i.e., 60 percent to 85 percent of maximal heart rate). Cross training can include activities that develop muscular fitness, as
well as aerobic conditioning.
If you’re looking to start your own cross-training and functional gym, you’re at the
right place. When choosing supplies for cross-training, opt for the
highest quality equipment that can withstand extreme pounding and
throwing and should last for years.
