About this episode
Functional training” has become a buzzword in fitness—but do you actually know what it means?
.
.
In this episode, we break down what true functional training is (hint: it’s not about doing squats on a BOSU ball). I’ll walk you through what it looks like for endurance athletes, why lifting heavy is essential for long-term performance, and how your training should reflect the life you want to live—not just the body you want to sculpt.
.
.
We’ll talk:
Why strength training supports runners, not slows them down
The difference between flexibility and mobility (and why you feel tight)
How to train for recovery, not just output
What “functional” looks like in different seasons of life and training
How to auto-regulate and prevent injury before it happens
.
.
If you’re an athlete, mom, or anyone who wants to be capable in their body for life—this one’s for you.
