Functional Strength

Functional strength is strength you can use: rising from a low chair, carrying groceries, climbing stairs, lifting a suitcase and recovering your balance. This book trains the movements life asks of you, and it keeps the brain-body connection in honest proportion, with no promises a workout cannot keep.

What is inside:

• What strength training can support for the brain, and what it cannot promise
• Seven movement patterns with everyday examples and starter options
• Three full-body workouts and simple progression rules
• A five-step warm-up, balance practice and clear red flags
• Nutrition, recovery, sleep and stress without the slogans
• A 10-minute minimum for busy weeks and a first-two-weeks plan
