what is functional strength?
Functional Strength is the type of strength that enhances your ability to perform everyday activities efficiently, safely, and easily. It involves building muscle, coordination, and balance in ways that improve real-world movements, rather than focusing solely on lifting heavy weights or achieving aesthetic goals.
