💭BEFORE READING IMAGINE THIS…
“You have fallen in the middle of the floor with nothing around to help you. You now must get up off the ground. How will you handle this?”
At Grit Force Fitness we call it a BURPEE; controlled “fall” to the ground and get back up again. A functional moment that is an important skill to have as we age is being able to do a BURPEE (getting down to the ground and back up again).
Now let me tell you why you should be doing FUNCTIONAL FITNESS/LIFE CLASS:
Functional fitness is a type of exercise that focuses on improving movement patterns and strength for everyday activities. LIFE Class takes this concept a step further by incorporating it into a comprehensive program designed to enhance overall quality of life.
In a LIFE Class, participants engage in a variety of exercises and activities that mimic real-life movements, such as squatting, lifting, pushing, and pulling. These exercises are designed to improve balance, flexibility, coordination, and strength, all of which are essential for maintaining independence and mobility as we age.
The goal of LIFE Class is not only to improve physical fitness but also to enhance overall quality of life. By building strength and mobility in a way that directly translates to daily activities, participants can enjoy increased energy, decreased risk of injury, and improved confidence in their physical abilities.
In addition to the physical benefits, LIFE Class often incorporates elements of social connection and mental well-being. Group classes provide a supportive and motivating environment, while the focus on functional movements can help boost cognitive function and enhance mental clarity.
Overall, LIFE Class offers a holistic approach to health and wellness, helping participants not only improve their physical fitness but also enhance their overall quality of life. It’s a fantastic way to stay active, engaged, and healthy at ANY age.
