But How Can I Do It All?
The easiest way to incorporate functional training into your routine is by performing these exercises in between sets of strength training or supersetting them. For instance, instead of sitting on your butt being lazy resting between sets, do variations of lunges, jump squats, tabata squats, burpees, push-ups or pull-ups.
Now, you may be thinking "oh no, I can't do that because it will make me tired and weak for my next set of strength training exercise..." But, that is just a ridiculous excuse because (unless you are powerlifting) you will be stronger, eager, and more ready for the heavy poundage. I can attest to this personally because I am usually stronger and more energized for my next strength set after a burst of quick functional exercises.
And, an added bonus is that this training style is so intense that you will crank up you metabolism, burn fat, and energize your day.
In case you are wondering, this is what is meant by supersetting:
