| functional training exercises for weight loss: Functional Training Handbook Craig Liebenson, 2014 Training has many different connotations depending on one's perspective.

This book promotes a different approach in that the aim of training is to promote athletic development (1,2). From the perspective of sustainable athletic development, training is not limited to strength, flexibility or cardiovascular domains, but also focuses on the fundamental A,B,Cs of agility, balance, and coordination as a foundation for enhanced movement literacy (3)--Provided by publisher. |

| functional training exercises for weight loss: The Power of Posture Naudi Aguilar, 2014-08-28 The concept of Functional Patterns is a train of thought that has been building upon itself over the course of my entire lifetime. I was taught at a very young age to question authority and everything around me by my highly skeptical parents. My parents were extremely hard workers who were very resourceful with the little money they had. They lived by the practice what you preach motto in every sense they could. The apple didn't fall very far from the tree and I have embodied (to the best of my ability) what I was fortunate enough to be taught at a very young age. The Functional Patterns method didn't start with the memorization of techniques. It started at a base of reasoning that has seemingly been missing from the industry of health today. When ego checking experiences of life mixed with the values I had already wired in from my childhood, a different approach towards looking at the human organism emerged. |

| functional training exercises for weight loss: Biohack Your Body: Optimize Your Fitness With Science-Backed Strategies For Long-Term Results Lun Frederick, 2024-07-23 Many people struggle with the initial hurdle of starting an exercise routine. This tip focuses on building sustainable habits that become automatic over time. Identify Your Triggers: What situations or times of day make you more likely to exercise? Maybe it's after work, before breakfast, or with a workout buddy. Schedule your workouts around these triggers to increase the chances of sticking to them. Stack Habits: Pair exercise with an existing habit you already do consistently. For example, listen to your favorite podcast only while walking or jogging, or do some bodyweight exercises while waiting for your coffee to brew. Reward Yourself Strategically: Celebrate your achievements, but with non-food rewards. Treat yourself to a massage after a successful week, watch an episode of your favorite show after a tough workout, or buy some new workout clothes to stay motivated. Prioritize Sleep: The Unsung Hero of Fitness Sleep deprivation disrupts hormones that regulate hunger and metabolism, making it harder to lose weight and build muscle. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Create a Sleep Sanctuary: Ensure your bedroom is dark, cool, and quiet. Invest in blackout curtains, a comfortable mattress, and eliminate electronic distractions before bed. Develop a Relaxing Wind-Down Routine: Take a warm bath, read a book, or practice light yoga or meditation before bed to calm your mind and prepare for sleep. Optimize Your Diet for Sleep: Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime. Opt for sleep-promoting foods like cherries, almonds, and chamomile tea.

| functional training exercises for weight loss: Deconstructing the Fitness-Industrial Complex Justice Roe Williams, Roc Rochon, Lawrence Koval, 2023-05-02 Perspectives from QTBIPOC, fat, and disabled trainers, bodyworkers, and coaches on reimagining fitness for all bodies. For readers of Belly of the Beast, Care Work, and The Body is Not an Apology Fit is subjective. Who our society designates as fit--and who gets to be fit in our society--is predefined by the coaches, gyms, and systems at large that uphold and reproduce the Fitness Industrial Complex for their own structural and material gain. The Fitness Industrial Complex uplifts some bodies while denigrating others. Bodies that are Black, Brown, queer, trans, poor, fat, and disabled--bodies that don't conform, that resist and disrupt--are excluded from being fit. Through the stories and experiences of activist trainers, coaches, and bodyworkers of diverse identities and experiences, this anthology interrogates: The ideas and beliefs we’ve internalized about health, fitness, and our own and others’ bodies How to deconstruct and re-envision fitness as a practice for all bodies The fitness industry’s role in upholding and reinforcing oppression Exclusivity, unsafety, and harm in mainstream fitness spaces How to empower ourselves and our communities to push back against the FIC Speaking directly to sick, queer, trans, disabled, and BIPOC readers, Deconstructing the Fitness Industrial Complex is part urgent inquiry, part radical deconstruction, and part call to action: to build spaces that welcome and work for all; to reclaim movement as a vital and liberatory practice; and to embody a model of joy and community care outside the mainstream fitness culture. |

| functional training exercises for weight loss: Reducing the Mortality Gap in People with Severe Mental Disorders: the Role of Lifestyle Psychosocial Interventions Andrea Fiorillo, Maurizio Pompili, Mario Luciano, Norman Sartorius, 2019-10-15 Patients with severe mental disorders (SMD), including major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and related spectrum disorders, have a reduced life expectancy of 10-25 year compared with the general population. This life expectancy gap is mainly due to the co-occurrence of many physical diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tuberculosis, hepatitis and HIV. Factors contributing to the reduced life expectancy can be grouped into three main categories: a) factors related to the patient; b) factors related to clinicians; and c) factors related to the health system. As regards the first group, patients with SMD often adopt unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, including heavy smoking, reduced physical activity, sedentary behaviors, poor diet and alcohol or drug abuse, and are reluctant to seek for physical care with GPs and other medical specialists. Increasing the levels of physical activity, improving the dietary patterns, and reducing the smoking habits of people with severe mental disorders represent a global health challenge and a public health priority. Until now, attempts made to reduce this mortality gap have acted at three different levels: health system level, physician level, and patient level. The third-level interventions include electronic alerts through smartphones and web-based platforms, intensive case management, promotion of healthy habits, complex psychosocial interventions. Several population-based studies have showed that lifestyle behaviors are amenable to change through the adoption of specific psychosocial interventions. However, most clinical guidelines, although emphasizing the importance of health monitoring and regular check-ups for patients with severe mental illnesses, do not make specific recommendations on the provision of lifestyle interventions. These lifestyle-oriented interventions, consisting of behavioral, educational, and psychological components, have been conducted mainly in research settings, and have shown a good impact on patients’ physical health. Despite this, their feasibility in routine settings has not been tested yet. It seems to be clinically and ethically relevant to develop, validate and carry out interventions to improve the lifestyle’s behaviors of patients with severe mental disorders, to reduce the presence of comorbidities and to improve their life expectancy. In this Research Topic we will summarize the available knowledge of the efficacy and effectiveness of psychosocial interventions aimed at improving healthy lifestyle behaviors and promoting the physical health of patients with severe mental disorders.
