Muscle Talk 2 with Funk and Flex - Importance of Functional Training


Listen Later

This is episode 102 of the podcast, but episode 2 of our Muscle Talk. In this section, my co-host Flex Marks and I discuss muscle, strength training, building muscle, and getting strong. We share information for men in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond because we have no room for error.
Flex has more than 25 years of experience in the industry. He's a Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach. Flex focuses on training guys online and in person. It's important to mention that he trains EVERYBODY, from beginners to athletes. Flex loves coaching people and making them strong and lean.
Some people are not willing to train their weak links. But they have to do it. We all have something that needs improvement. The glutes, the abs, the pecs. You must be uncomfortable addressing the parts of your body that need improvement. Functional training can help you do just that.
In this episode, we'll explore the world of functional training and how it can help you improve your overall fitness and ability to perform daily activities. Besides sharing our definition of functional training, we mention variations of the most important movements and why you should confuse your body constantly to get better results.
Remember that we, men, are here on this Earth to provide, protect and procreate. You will be the patriarch of your family, whether you want it or not. So start taking care of yourself to support your family and yourself. Until next time. “Functional training is using movements, exercises, workouts that will translate over into everyday life.” —Funk Roberts
