Episode 61: Functional Exercise with Mike Gibbs (Nurse Practitioner, Strength + Conditioning Coach, and Yoga Instructor)
from Beyond Fit · host Jake Parker
How does functional training differ from typical physique based training we see in the gym? This is the question Mike and I discussed today. Simply put, Mike says functional training is "something that makes you better at work, life, or sport.” We talked about isolating and shaping muscles through exercise and how this doesn’t necessarily contribute to strength, why and how to make muscle usable, growth hormone, and what exactly “the core” is as it relates to this conversation (Hint: not the “6 pack”).
