Functional training is a fitness approach that uses exercises mimicking everyday movements — like squatting, pushing, pulling, and lifting — to improve strength, balance, and coordination for real-world activities rather than isolating single muscles. Personal trainers, physical therapists, and athletes use tools like kettlebells, resistance bands, medicine balls, and bodyweight exercises to build practical, transferable fitness. It's popular for injury prevention, athletic performance, and rehabilitation.
