Who is the Functional Training Course for?

It appeals to individuals from all walks of life who want to increase their knowledge about physical exercise. This course content is especially for trainers who are new to the profession, or individuals with at least some exercise background who want to train in a healthy way.

What Will Functional Fitness Programs Give You?

Functional fitness programs are programs that aim to improve performance with training content that uses holistic movements to improve the body's movement mechanics. Exercises are chosen as indicated by functional anatomy and the exercises used in this course are accepted by the training community and used at all levels.

'There are no unnecessary exercises like squatting on a Pilates ball.'

Within these programs, besides the use of various skills exercises to move better, training planning is made for power development and strength development. Thus, the athlete can increase his/her mobility, contribute to his/her speed, increase the force produced per unit time and increase muscle development.

How Does It Contribute to Physical Appearance?

1. Muscle growth is achieved when adequate calorie intake and nutrition are provided for muscle growth.

2. It gives the body a leaner, tighter and athletic appearance in a non-developmental nutritional approach.

3. For women, if calories are consumed to keep the weight in balance, the body becomes tighter and leaner, the waist becomes thinner, the appearance becomes balanced and impressive.

4. If weight loss-oriented nutrition is applied, weight is lost and physical appearance becomes more impressive.

What did I teach In The Course?

During the classes, I explained as much necessary as to be needed. I used an understandable and plain language without going into the depth of knowledge the books. With this perspective, I have explained the following topics;

1. Mobility, activation, preparation for movement, movement skills exercises,

2. Mini plyometric exercises and explosive strength exercises,

3. Functional strength exercises for the lower body and upper body,

4. Functional core workouts,

5. Stretching exercises,

6. Sample training programs,

7. Explanations of other topics that will support the above items and make them easier to understand.

Required Equipment for Sample Programs

As I explained in the welcome video of the course, this course is built on practicing with minimal equipment, but it is 100% compatible with gym. I gave exercise recommendations for gym users too.

In order to implement the sample programs and exercises, at least 1 kettlebell (with sufficient weight), corsstraining ring (gymnastic ring or trx or a suspension belt that you can pull yourself) is used. You can see these equipment in the courses that are open to preview.

The reason why it is designed for minimal equipment is that training can be applied in places such as parks, gardens or home environments.

See you in classes.
