70 - Functional Movement: What and Why

Listen Later

Join me as I welcome Kim, co-founder of Functional Fitness Solutions, to discuss the importance of functional movement for overall health and well-being. Kim shares her insights on how to avoid injuries, improve stability, and alleviate common pains like lower back and shoulder discomfort.

Here are some key takeaways from the episode:

  • Functional movement: Focuses on exercises that mimic everyday movements, strengthening muscles and improving stability for better function in daily life.
  • Start small: Consistency is key, even if it's just 5-10 minutes of exercise snacks like bodyweight exercises or yoga stretches.
  • Listen to your body: Don't push yourself too hard, especially when starting out. Modify exercises as needed and gradually increase intensity and duration.
  • Address pain: Pain is often a sign of muscle imbalances or movement dysfunction. Functional movement can help correct these imbalances and alleviate pain.
  • Common trouble areas: Shoulders, hips, and lower back are susceptible to pain due to repetitive motions and lack of proper strengthening.
  • Resources: Check out Kim's website (funfitsolutions.com) and social media (funfitsolutions on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funfitsolutions/ and Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/funfitsolutions) for more information and exercise tips.
