This type of Fitness has been around forever as the moves mimic our daily lives. We use to call it calisthenics, now it's referred to as functional fitness.
I tend to use it on our Baby Boomers as the workout programs help with rehabilitation and independent living. I have found the following exercises help prepare us for daily activities.
A Kettle Bell Lift can help by preparing the body for simple lifting of objects using proper form, use, and strengthening of specific muscles used for this task.
A Lat Pull-Down will help strengthen the muscles used when bringing items down from an overhead bin.
A Bent-over Row will help when pulling our body forward as if we were stepping up onto a bus using a handrail.
As we age, we need to stay strong and agile to maintain our ability to perform daily tasks.
