Functional strength training works several muscle groups that you might use to complete a daily task, such as shopping or climbing the stairs. The main aim of the activity is to train your body to move well. This is different to traditional strength training where you focus on one set of muscles at a time. In traditional strength training, your goal is to completely tire the muscles you’re working. In functional strength training, you still work hard, but not to the point of exhaustion.
