Functional movements are exercises that mimic the movements we make in our daily lives, such as squatting, bending, pushing, pulling, and lifting.
For women in midlife, incorporating functional movements into their fitness routine can help improve overall strength, mobility, balance, and coordination, reducing the risk of injury and improving quality of life.
Here are some tips:
- Start slow and focus on proper form
- Incorporate a variety of movements
- Practice balance exercises
- Listen to your body
- Make it fun
Incorporating these tips can help ensure that you’re getting the most out of your workout and maintaining your physical abilities in midlife.
Some of the most important movements you can practice are:
- Sit to Stand
- Bend to Extend
- Push & Pull
- Lunge
- Rotation
