The fitness buss word as of a few years has been Functional exercise. What is non functional exercise? I believe that the proponents of what is called the functional exercise movement have incorporated any method or equipment that will make your fitness goals and tried to market it as if it was new and more effective than anything else. So depending on what methods you use or teach, you can really call it functional exercise.
I call it Applied fitness as you can use thing to advance you fitness attributes by utilizing all types of equipment or implements without limitations. Resistance is resistance, weather its a stone a keg, sand bag or a 2,000 dollar Olympic set. Metabolic conditioning can be done with body weight exercise, hitting the bags, running, rowing or high rep weight exercise.
The biggest farce is when you try to build a complete fitness system out of one tool. You see example every day on TV with those stupid info commercials spieling some ab machine, push up gadget, or some DVD cardio boxing. Even some Kettlebell people try to do the same thing as though if you use something other than a kettlebell you will not be as effective. Use the same tool or equipment every day for three months and see if you want to continue for another 3 months.
July 10th."All life is an experiment."
