So today the keyword or word phrase is Functional Fitness. So what is functional fitness or functional training? Well even though this phrase gets thrown around in the fitness community more these days than Kim Kardashian’s name does on the latest headlines of entertainment weekly the fact still remains that some so-called professionals miss the mark on it’s meaning.

Keep on reading if you want to get those legs swole!
