Travel Fit Tip: Functional Fitness
Not interested in the usual gym and jogging routines? If your goal is focused on function -- being able to get through everyday chores with pain or the risk of injury -- then try the latest fitness craze: Functional Fitness.
The objective of functional fitness is to mimic activities that you perform everyday, such as carting your luggage through the airport or lifting that box of presentation materials out of the trunk of your rental car. However, unlike the usual way in which we would perform these activities -- in a hurry and with little thought to our bodies -- functional fitness aims to improve your ability to do these things by mimicing them in a slow, controlled fashion, helping you to focus not only on improving your strength, but also stability and posture.
Many resources abound for learning functional fitness exercises. The great thing about them is that many can be performed without any equipment, making them perfect for travelers!
One of the best tools available is our very own FitDeck, a unique deck of playing cards containing illustrations and instructions describing 50 different upper, middle, lower, and full body exercises.
The exercises call for basic body movements and require no equipment or machines of any kind. Each card allows you to choose from among three fitness levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced).
The FitDeck cards are held in a handy Card Holder making their use and transport a breeze.
The FitDeck is only $18.95 or $24.95 with its companion DVD. Learn more or order yours today!
