Functional Fitness – the next step to fitness retardation?

June 8th, 2010 No comments

Take a deep breathe and sip on your coffee and coke, because I have to let this out.

The madness of functional fitness has to stop somewhere and a line has to be drawn on reality and stupidity; it seems rather crazy to put it mildly.
Seriously, when will it all end?

Lets talk about functional in terms of everyday life – it is dictated by genetics, lifestyle, work life and even personal preference.
As much as we try to make things “functional” there is only a few axis/planes a body can move in, the rest are just variation within the planes.

However Idiots try their best to make an exercise out of nothing, of which I have no clue how or why but that of a person’s creativity at play.

How functional can a office worker be?
If I had to think of a functional exercise for them, it’ll be sitting on their butts with their hands stretch out with a keyboard typing, “Exercise” over and over and over again.

You see, there isn’t much function yet many are trying to sell it with some weird contraption to make it look cool.
Yet it dies out almost as fast as it comes in and you wonder why…?

WTF is this?!

I know, I know, Hater’s gotta hate but whatever…

But when you get knee benders of a squat, you’d have to question what really is their purpose of which they’re trying to sell you..

Holy sh…

Okay, thats about enough of a rant.

I’ll just end off with a quote off their site, google it if you want to know more -

10 years on, it is this same kind of precision and technical expertise that Nelson carries over from his days as an engineer into his work as a Functional Training Specialist.

Functional Overload – Seriously WTF is this?!

Functional training has been the new hype, not that its wrong or anything to try to fit training more towards functionality of everyday.

However viewing this, I can’t help but to slap my forehead and give myself a facepalm.
