Functional training is a way of exercising to enhance your movement,functioning and overall expand quality of life.In my today's boot camp class we did functional training with medicine ball.The goal being: maximum calorie expenditure and working on the body as a totality.I have never been a fan of isolation moves,which have very little effect on fat metabolism.                                                                                                          In my today's class I had a group of highly motivated women having endurance levels to match up to an athlete.Its always a delight to train clients who are self generative,raring to go and their performance being pristine and flawless.Surely,it's an ongoing discovery for me to use my tool box of functional exercise,different principles and application techniques.Every class I prepare with utmost passion and commitment to deliver.                                                                                                                                So today,after a dynamic warm up,we did a circuit of diagonal reach,ball squats with overhead raises,step up and twist,reverse lunge with rows and knee up with frontal raises.3 circuits got their Heart rates pumping.Rimple's constant chitter chatter keeps the others going. A great bonding among all of them,constant support,motivation and the competitiveness to outbeat,sustain and train is simply outstanding.Yes the above exercise was followed by push ups with hip extension,Russian twists,reverse plank and dynamic prone plank.BREAK AWAY FROM YOUR MONOTONOUS WORKOUT ROUTINES.KEEP VARYING YOUR WORKOUTS AND TRY OUR SESSIONS.                                                               X-ER-SIZE,VILE PARLE WEST.

Setting SMART fitness goals.

Fitness is truly a way of life.Its not a short term goal rather a way of being.A lifestyle pattern about choosing to exercise regularly and eating healthy.We all want to get fitter and healthier.I have seen people exercising,joining gyms and embarking on diet programs in the need to attain their fitness goal.First step in attaining our fitness goal is declaring a clear well defined goal.Some of us have vague goals like wanting to lose weight or increase in stamina or enhance strength.These goals are vague because they lack clarity,are not measurable and time bound.So let's get started with setting a SMART goal.                                                                                                                                                           1.S-For specific to you and your body type,your age,fitness level,health issues and medical problems.Each one of us is different and so our fitness goals are specific to us.Never compare your goals and do not compete.                                                                                                                         2.M-stands for measurable.Your fitness goal having a numerical value.If your goal is weight loss then how much weight loss?if it's losing fat,then define percentage of body fat loss desired.Goals can be building up endurance,reducing blood pressure,diabetes and cholesterol.Give it a measurable value.   3.A-for attainable.A goal that is achievable keeping in mind your current fitness level.                         4.R-for realistic.Doing a reality check of your goals.Is it realistic really?not a fantasy.We often try to ape being like a celebrity or wanting to be at a weight which you were in your teens or wanting to drop 10 kgs in a month or ability to run a marathon in few weeks without prior training.                           5.T-stands for time bound.Your goal needs to be time bound,if u want to regulate your bp,then by when.If you want to lose 10 kgs,then by when.Our goals can be broken down to short,mid and long term by varying the time limit.                                                                                                                        Consult a health professional and work out a SMART goal for yourself as your exercise planning and programmers is totally dependant on what you want to achieve.Your goal being the objective and right exercise prescription a strategy to attain.
