I am not sure if anyone else looks at the "mainstream" fitness articles, but they are always good for a laugh. Dr. Cedric Bryant ACE's cheif Exercise Physiologist. He said this about functional training,
" Functional strength training should serve as a supplement to traditional strength training, not as a replacement.

Properly applied, functional strength training may provide exercise variety and additional training benefits that more directly transfer improvements to real-life activities."

Maybe Crossfit should look into using funtional strength training as a supplement...haha

You are blessed!!! Look at those wonderful smiles!!!!
