Summer ’17 Style Guide: The Functional Fitness Athlete

·July 27, 2017

In today’s fitness scene there are almost too many methods to subscribe to – CrossFit, Kettlebells, Olympic Lifting, Bootcamp, Big Box Gym, Small Box Gym…the list goes on. What we have learned, however, from the last 20-30 years of research and trial and error is that “Functional Fitness” or, exercises that train muscles to work together in preparation for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work or in sports, has been the proven trend.

CrossFit, Bootcamp, squatting, pressing, jumping…they’re all functional, and they might be the best way to get strong, lose fat, and live a healthy life. So if you’re not one to put yourself in a box (no pun intended), then the following goods are for you. The guy who goes just as hard under the bar as he does on sprints. Kettlebells, dumbells, medicine balls, bars, bands, all have their place…and you look damn good when slangin’ and bangin’ them all.
