Functional Fitness: Working out with real life movements
Exercise classes, home workouts, or personal training: the possibilities of working out are limitless. Without a doubt, all of those can help you getting stronger and improve your overall health. But let’s face it, using all the different machines in the gym for the first time can be intimidating, and the movements can feel unnatural. MoveStrong’s brand new Outdoor Functional Fitness Zone has been designed to provide a full-body workout for teenagers and adults, focusing on real-life movements. Using primarily body weight and resistance in combination with free-form moving tools, the exercises aim to develop the necessary movement skills, strength, stability, agility, power, and balance to complete everyday body functions and perform at your best!
One of the first to experience the new offerings are the students and locals at Jefferson City Park and Lincoln University in Missouri. The LINC, a local gym owned and ran by both institutions, has just been extended by a MoveStrong Outdoor Functional Fitness Zone to be opened this summer. An all-encompassing design provides the ideal environment for a complete strength and conditioning workout.
38’x38’ are divided into designated training zones, incorporating proven FitGround equipment and specialty surfacing for comfort, instruction and diversity while working out.
“We were looking for a diverse list of equipment in a less intimidating environment. ”
The MoveStrong Outdoor Functional Training Zone offers something for everyone, whether a user wants to improve strength and power, build endurance, work on coordination and balance or just stretch those muscles.
Training graphics and placards with QR codes allow for self-guided mobile training, that can be adjusted to any goal and fitness level.
Like the majority of MoveStrong’s training equipment, the new training station is completely customizable in size, included tools and accessory. It makes the ideal addition to any health and wellness offering in professional surroundings, such as parks, schools, rec centers, resorts, community living developments, corporate and office parks.
