Science was a cornerstone in the development of Kinesis.
The fitness industry has grown up and grown out of resistance machines that only move in one plane.

Kinesis brings a whole new dynamic way of training body, mind and soul.
It mixes functionality with creativity and in doing so enables an infinite number of exercises with Kinesis.
Used for sport specific, rehabilitation, endurance, explosive, young, old, novice and professional, the Kinesis really is for everybody and anybody.

The three pillars of Kinesis is strength, stability and flexibility. Kinesis achieves these three pillars by incorporating balance, proprioception on an uneven surface and controlling your body in space and all in an environment where you can fully extend the body.

Benefits of the kinesis is:

increased coordination
increased strength
increased balance
stronger core stability
increased flexibility
increased endurance
proper posture

In Kinesis training 30% more calories will be burned compared to traditional equipment training. A higher work volume can be achieved in a shorter period of tme.

Kinesis means movement. This type of workout is movement education for the ody and mind. This training is different from traditional exercise . Time in movement is the goal here, rather than reps. Movement training is FUN!

What is functional training really and how does it compare to other methods of training?

Simply put, functional training is a classification of exercise which involves training the body for the activities performed in daily life.

The old school “weightlifting” exercises generally target only one muscle for each exercise. Functional training challenges multiple musclegroups, big and small, with each movement or exercise.

The short list of functional training benefits are:

• Building “inner strength”
• Endurance
• Improve balance
• Improve range of motion

“Core training” and “Functional training” is very close related as most of the functional training exercises challenges your core and stabilizing muscles. So yes if you’re wondering… abs!

Functional training challenges your body from all angles and through different planes of movement, thus the body is actually working much harder which equals burning more calories.

Another great benefit is that the muscles will develop more naturally and more balanced which will lead to long, elongated muscles as apposed to short, stiff and bulky.

Formal exercise include the use of  stability balls, resistance bands with handles, bosu ball, weight balls and balancing to name a few.

For example:

• balancing on a bosu while doing bicep curls
• walking lunges
• side lunges
• moving a medicine ball from side to side( covering the entire plane of movement )

…………………and the list really goes on and on.

To me personally, one of the major benefits is that it is impossible to become bored with functional training, which we know is the number one reason people stop training.

Remember, it’s always safety first, so make sure you consult with your physician before starting any physical program and ask a certified personal trainer to help you get started if you’re unfamiliar with any new piece of equipment or training method.

From the above statements I’m sure you can tell that I am a very big fan of functional training however traditional training and static machines has its place and I use both. Sometimes you want to target a specific muscle in which case a machine is perfect.
