Tina describes functional training as dynamically training real-life patterns of movement.
You link brain, body and mind to align effective, efficient movement patterns to experience a defined outcome - whatever matters most to you.
Functional training is about the quality and integrity of movement patterns.
It's built on two pillars: 1 Specificity - how you move.
2 Progressive Overload - continually challenging the body with more difficult tasks to stimulate growth.
This translates to increased functional capacity by training multi-dimensional motor control tasks of gradually increasing complexity.
