The Power Of Focus

Here at Stamford Sportsplex, we believe focus is the key to better fitness results. Functional training is an exceptional way to achieve focus.

Why? Because functional exercise demands balance, stability and coordination.

If you take your mind off a functional exercise for even a moment, you’ll find it almost impossible to complete. The great news is your mental focus improves right along with your physique when doing functional training.

5 Ways To Make Your Workout More Functional

1. Stand On One Foot – When doing standing dumbbell exercises like curls, lateral raises and shoulder presses try lifting one foot off the ground. Every muscle in your body is recruited for stabilizing to help keep you balanced as you perform each rep.
2. Go Circular – The human body doesn’t only move straight up and down or to the side – so why only exercise that way. Try putting more rotational movement into your exercises.
