Functional Training is all the rage right now, but do you even know what “functional training” means?
While Functional Training is now being used to describe way too many different crazy fads, including doing ridiculous balance moves on yoga balls and Bosus, what it should mean is training that makes our bodies and minds stronger so we can function better in every day life.
What Functional Training should be is training that replicates movements we do in everyday life to help us develop balance and improve our stability and mobility so that we can move better and more efficiently without injury.
Functional Training is training that uses compound exercises and moves your body in every plane of motion.

Our bodies should be able to move in every direction, yet our workouts rarely, if ever, include movements in every direction.
When we lunge, we tend to lunge forward and backward only. With maybe a side lunge or two thrown in there.
But we should be lunging in every direction so we can MOVE in every direction in daily life without getting injured.
The whole point of working out is to make our bodies more mobile and stronger so we can live pain free.
That is why you need to include the lunge matrix in your workout routine!
The lunge matrix moves your body in every direction. It strengthens your legs and your glutes in every plane since you are lunging in every direction.
It makes you functional strong to prevent injury!
