Whether you are are a marathon runner improving your timie, an athlete looking to improve your game, or simply a parent that wants to carry their children without injury, functional training can improve your performance.Functional training allows you to adapt and develop exercises which are designed to specifically improve performance of both sports specific and everyday activities. Functional Training emphasizes the body's natural ability to move in six degrees of freedom which can lead to better muscular balance and joint stability, decreasing the possibility of injuries.In comparison, freeweights and resistance machines can restrict movements to a single plane of motion, which is an unnatural form of movement for the body. Recent studies have shown very substantial gains and benefits in the functional training group over fixed training equipment. The Body-Solid GDCC200 Functional Training Center puts core stability within your grasp by offering a limitless variety of balance-improving, coordination-enhancing, user-defined workout regimens.
