The bootcamp adheres to a principle known as functional
fitness—exercise that focuses on making everyday tasks easier. Check out
Groupon’s basic rundown.
####Functional Fitness: Beyond the Bench Press
From
shoveling snow to climbing stairs, people constantly carry out tasks
that may seem mundane, but can lead to serious injury if the body can't
handle the workload. Functional fitness targets groups of muscles
throughout the body, conditioning them to work together so they can
perform a range of simple tasks more easily and safely. Exercises
commonly used in a functional-fitness regimen mimic such everyday
movements: squatting to pick up a heavy object, lunging forward toward
an out-of-reach ledge, balancing on an unstable chair as the shelf
collapses.
Whereas a traditional curl targets the
biceps by way of elbow movement, a functional exercise might incorporate
the shoulders, spine, hips, knees, and ankles, which trains the upper
and lower body to work in unison with the aid of a tightened core. This
integration allows the muscles to grow at a similar rate, gaining
strength in a way that complements the way a person lives rather than
the way they simply work out.
One of the major pros of
functional fitness is its ability to suit virtually any fitness goal. A
[report](http://www.acefitness.org/pressroom/406/exclusive-ace-study-proves-functional-fitness/)
by the American Council on Exercise determined that functional fitness
benefitted adults ages 58–78, while a [study by the U.S.
Army](http://gr.pn/XuQfGo) concluded that CrossFit training increased
the work capacity of its top athletes by an average of 20% and
"characterizes the type of versatility required of U.S. Army Soldiers."
Regardless of the intensity, it’s best to start slow. Beginning with
exercises that only use the body’s weight helps teach muscles proper
form and keep them safe from injury. Once prepared, exercisers can add
more resistance with weights, tubing, ropes, elephant trunks, and other
tools.
