Functional training involves exercise that trains the body for the activities performed in daily life, mimicking what clients do at home or work through integrated movement patterns.

The nature of functional training exercises entails the whole body working in integrated, multi-joint movements that require the muscle groups to work together. The weight bearing exercises, which mainly target the core muscles of the abdomen, lower back and hip regions, are designed to help clients perform their tasks more effectively either to prevent injuries or to rehabilitate injury or surgery.

The use of unstable surfaces to introduce a balance challenge is a characteristic of functional training exercise. This element of proprioception trains the body and mind to work together to effect movements at the joints to attain stable state. Managing one's body weight to re-establish balance when optimal alignment or positioning is lost is the key to stability. This synergistic and integrated effort will carry over to daily performance.
