Functional Training vs Traditional: The Training Debate Settled

In this video, I break down the ongoing debate between functional movement and traditional resistance training. The fitness industry loves to polarize everything, and this is one of the clearest examples. I talk about how that false certainty holds people back and why it’s more important to understand the principles behind each training method.

We dive into the SAID principle, general physical preparedness, and specific physical preparedness to explain how each style contributes to different adaptations. I compare both approaches when it comes to building muscle, gaining strength, and preventing injury.

By the end of this, my goal is to show why the smartest path isn’t choosing one or the other but knowing how to blend them both to get the most out of your training.

If you're interested in adding strength training to your running or adding running to your strength training, schedule a free consultation with me and let's discuss your options: https://calendly.com/alwaysadaptive/f...
