Functional fitness has rapidly gained popularity, and for good reason. Unlike traditional workouts that often focus on specific muscles, functional fitness workouts emphasize movements carried out during real-life activities. This approach goes beyond improving strength, while also facilitating overall mobility, balance, and coordination. 

The Right Exercise Equipment for your Functional Fitness Journey.

A significant reason why functional fitness is gaining popularity is due to its emphasis on consistency. Why is that? It’s easier to feel motivated to workout when you see a direct benefit of it in real life. These exercises help you move better in your everyday life. Whether it’s lifting groceries or climbing stairs, functional exercises mirror the actions we take daily, making the benefits quickly apparent. 

So, how can you hop on the trend? The simplest way to begin with functional fitness is to start at home. Home workout trends range from simple workout routines to yoga and even dance workouts. Whether you are training independently or with an instructor, some basic exercise equipment is required for almost every form of exercise. Firstly, a yoga mat is essential. We suggest the Nivia Anti-Skid Yoga Mat. Beginners need to prioritise comfort and safety, and this yoga mat’s anti-slip properties and firm cushioning is perfect for someone trying out a variation of exercises. It is also antibacterial and easy to clean, ensuring hygiene while exercising. 

For those crossing the age of 50, improving joint mobility and maintaining muscle strength becomes essential. Functional fitness acts as an exceptional solution as ease of movement on a day-to-day basis is a priority. Posture maintenance and injury prevention are significant benefits for this age group. As for younger individuals, they may require more challenging exercises, specifically with weights. Having dumbbells at home is a convenient way to train different muscle groups. Many trending online workouts like yoga, pilates, and dance routines, all make use of dumbbells to increase effectiveness. We recommend the Nivia Fitness Dumbbells. Available in an ideal range of weights for functional fitness exercises, these dumbbells are designed to cater to fitness enthusiasts of all levels, for toning muscles, building strength, and achieving your fitness goals effectively. Older individuals can also benefit from these dumbbells due to the lighter weight options- including even 1 to 2kg dumbbell pairs. 

Finally, instead of isolating muscles with machines, functional fitness engages the whole body. It trains muscles to work in sync, building not just strength but also agility, balance, and flexibility. This well-rounded approach appeals to those who want a fitness routine that improves all areas of physical health. With Nivia’s range of exercise equipment, you can have your own gym set and get started with your functional fitness routine now.
