What is Functional Movement?


- Functional movement refers to movements that mimic real-life activities and real-world
situational biomechanics. They usually involve multi-planar, multi-joint movements which
place demand on the body’s core musculature and innervation. It engages multiple
muscle groups and joints in a coordinated manner to improve overall body function,
stability, and mobility.

Examples of Functional Movements with procedure on how to execute them.

1. Squats:
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees and push your hips back,
lowering until thighs are parallel to the ground. Return to the starting position by
pushing through your heels.

2. Lunges:
- Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about a
90-degree angle. Push back up to the starting position and switch legs.

3. Push-Ups:
- Start in a plank position with hands under shoulders. Lower your body by bending
your elbows, keeping your body straight. Push back up to the starting position.

4. Deadlifts:
- Stand with feet hip-width apart. Bend at the hips and knees to lower down and
grip a weight. Lift the weight by extending your hips and knees, keeping your
back straight.

5. Plank:
- Start in a forearm plank position with elbows under shoulders and body in a
straight line. Hold this position while engaging your core and keeping your body
stable.
