Cardiovascular work is dissociated from muscular work.&nbsp;The movements are analytical, only one muscle is worked at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Functional training, on the other hand, changes all these premises and seeks to ensure that the movements we perform are similar to those we do every day in our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In each movement we work almost all muscle groups.&nbsp;Cardiovascular and muscular work go hand in hand. More dynamic materials are used, such as bags, kettlebells, balls, etc..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Functional training, therefore, completely changes the way we activate our body&#8217;s muscles, involving them in more complete and effective training sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_functional_training\"><\/span>Benefits of functional training<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are numerous benefits of functional training, the most important of which are listed below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By working all the muscles globally,&nbsp;we achieve a global strengthening&nbsp;by working complete muscle chains.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned in the previous point, it is a type of training that specifically seeks to improve the quality of life of the user, the parameters such as&nbsp;flexibility and agility have the greatest capacity for improvement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spend more and more hours in front of the computer screen, sitting, or studying in postures that are not at all favourable for our postural hygiene, which leads to back pain, with this type of training.&nbsp;improves our posture and relieves back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burns body fat, the combination of muscular and cardiovascular training at the same time is the secret to increasing calorie expenditure, speeding up metabolism and reducing your fat percentage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_results_fast_with_functional_training_routines\"><\/span>Get results fast with functional training routines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In less time you get better results, forget about the traditional 2-3 hour long routines in the gym, in 45 minutes well spent you will see significant changes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a type of training suitable for any age or physical condition because it is 100% adaptable.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, functional training is effective! In addition, if you already do another sport you will see how in just a few sessions your physical performance improves significantly, but the most interesting thing is that being such dynamic training is super fun and you make training your moment of disconnection of the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/corestfitness.com\/en\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1659\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contact us<\/a> and we will inform you without any commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well.. when are you coming to try it with us?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you do sport on a regular basis?
