OMG THANK YOU! 🙏🙏🙏 As a physician taking fitness classes I need to understand what I’m doing and why in order to do it correctly and effectively. I have been searching for this info for years! You are the first person to explain it comprehensively and concisely! I will get so much more out of my fitness journey thanks to you.
Julie this comment just makes my day! I'm thrilled that you got some good info from this video. Best of luck on your fitness journey and thank you so much for watching!
I am someone with hyper mobility in my ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders. I suffer from sprained ankles doing normal daily activities, and usually the sprains are so severe that my family brings me to the hospital out of concern that I may have broken it. Never am I able to put weight on it for several weeks, or even several months. The last two times, I got off a. Ladder too quickly, and the other time, I was standing from a seated position on the floor, which is the most comfort place to sit for my joints. As well as the extreme pain, which often leaves me debilitated unless I do some form of exercise in the mornings to get my muscles moving. I cannot impress enough on you how important this video is for people like me. I love to absolutely crush it in a workout, and I never knew about slow twitch muscle fibers. I love HIIT, and running, and hardcore deadlifts, but I never realized how dangerous what I was doing actually was until now. This video probably just saved me an extremely severe injury, and I am so grateful towards this sweet woman.
This was SO interesting and for the first time in my LIFE, I’m understanding what I want most out of fitness - for it to be functional - YES! Perfectly said and explained. I really enjoy working out and am always trying to find new things in order to stay strong and healthy. AND I need workouts that are realistic and.....functional, as you said for my personal needs and lifestyle as a working mom. Everyone should see this...you were able to communicate how to make sense out of working out. I liked all the facts and “nerdy”’stuff too. It’s always very interesting to know why we do certain workouts/moves and how it can be completely functional and beneficial to our lives. So glad I came accross this and I’ll be watching more videos - thanks!!!
Joanne this was such a lovely comment for me to read! Thank you! I’m glad that you enjoyed the video and took something from it. I really love when people understand WHY they’re doing something. Thank you again!
I like to nerd out stuffs about muscles and training for our daily life movements to my husband too! And most of the time he’s just like “Oh okay”. I wish I can nerd out about it with you! 🤣🤣
Fascinating video. Since I started working out a few months ago, I've found I have much better balance and for more confidence in my overall body movements and co-ordination. This video explains why, (and also helps me understand why certain exercises are in workouts). Thank you!!
Girl, your content is so great! Currently studying for my NASM CPT exam, which is how I found you on here- appreciate you sharing your knowledge in a more *functional* way for me to understand while I’m re-familiarizing myself with the science behind why we train how we do. Thank you!
I'm watching this quite late but OMG THANKYOU for this video, SO informative, your channel is super underrated and you deserve a lot more subscribers absolutely more people should be hearing this info rather than the BS that's being spread out on social media!! Arghhh loved it thankyou so much!! ❤️❤️
This was such a great video!! I'm currently studying to be a physical therapist and I was kind of getting confused in my functional anatomy class. This really helped! Thanks!!! :)❣
I'm excited to start adding a few more variations of exercises in my training program. I'm recovering from abdominal surgery right now, so I won't be back to it till mid-March. It'll be interesting to see where I'll be with load and endurance when I start back up.
@@JustinaErcole not a trainer myself, but a "geek" when it comes to training, so I really appreciate these scientific explanations :) greetings all the way from Serbia, keep up the great work!
You are so knowledgeable!! I’m currently in the process of getting certified to be an ACE Functional Training Specialist. Did you get a specific cert or just your knowledge from personal training?
Thanks Maria! I have my NASM CPT but no specific cert in functional training. I am a Level 3 High Performance Coach though and it has a huge functional training aspect so that's where I've gained a lot of my knowledge, as well as my own research. Best of luck with your cert!
Hi! Just landed on your channel and I am so grateful because i was just thinking that this is what has been missing in my workouts! My problems include lower and upper back pain [the upper coming from having a very big size of breasts]. I have solely focused on the booty and the core due to my desire to fulfill social beauty standards. Of course, I am not attaining this and this further demotivates me to go to the gym! i would love to genuinely have fun while I exercise and to do it so that I have good mobility, stability, strength, and flexibility. Your channel is like a fresh start for me. Can I find this information on a sheet, pdf, or blog? i would like to go back to them every now nd then :) Cheers and take care!
So happy to have you here Eva! I don't have a written format for people to download, but I posted something on Instagram today that's very similar and much more of a checklist :)
Thank you for the video! Super helpful. I also plan on buying adjustable dumbbells to help with functional training but afraid that I will grow out of it. Is it possible to not grow out of them?
It depends on your goals and how high the weights go. But as long as your goal isn’t max strength and you get them up to 50 or 60 pounds, you should be fine 😊
I really enjoyed this video. I always thought workouts are just workouts, but there are so many differences. I do have a question though, Is it possible to perform functional training and work on aesthetical goals, like growing your glutes?
Hi Justina! I can't thank you enough for your wealth of knowledge!! I was wondering if you could check out Bikini Body Mommy on RUclips and do a review of her training. I'd like to know how functional it is. I think she usually trains 3 days of strength and 3 days of HIIT/cardio per week and keeps it short! Thanks!!
Recovering from a herniated disk in the lower back...is it safe once you feel stronger to go back to squats and lunges? I ma terrified still of doing those ...although I can finally move more and with less pain.
8 aspects
1. Basic movement patterns: squat, lunge, deadlift
2. Planes of motion: back & forth, side to side, rotation
3. Push & Pull motions
4. Angles
5. Tempos: slow (for endureance), fast (for speed) muscle fiber twitch.
Concentric, eccentric, Isometric
6. Compound movement: multiple muscle groups
7. Stability: for core strength
8. Unilateral training: training on 1 side

Loving your videos. Can you tell me what program you use to edit your videos? Adding text, images, etc. Thanks so much!!
Thanks so much!! I use iMovie to edit but Canva for all of my text and images. Hope that helps!
