functional movements

Functional movements are exercises that replicate everyday activities, such as bending, lifting, twisting, or reaching. They engage multiple muscle groups and joints simultaneously to improve strength, stability, and mobility in ways that directly enhance daily life. Instead of isolating individual muscles, functional movements promote coordinated body movements, helping you perform tasks more efficiently and safely. These exercises are often used in fitness and rehabilitation to prepare the body for real-world activities and to reduce the risk of injury by building practical strength and movement patterns.
