Popular Exercises with Functional Trainer
Started as rehab equipment, functional strength training became an important part of many athletes’ routines. The Functional Trainer mimics free weights. Some may argue that it can’t beat the free weights due to its load limit, but quite honestly, nothing can work those minor muscles like this machine by perfectly stabilizing them.
Different attachments help with focusing on the specific muscles. Most of the exercises can be performed with D-grip handles. Fray’s Functional Trainer comes with two D-grip handles. These handles alone offer so much more to your usual workout regime.
The long and short bar is straight and acts like a barbell. Tricep rope is another great attachment, as it allows you to perform a large variety of tricep extensions and bicep curls, as well as abdominal crunches. Next, the EZ curl bar is a contoured bar often used for bicep curls and reverse grip curls. Another attachment is an ankle cuff, that is used around your ankle used for glute workouts and hip and hamstring strengthening.
Fray’s Functional Trainer conveniently includes extra strong and thick pulleys. Don’t overlook the classic pull-up. The multi-joint exercise is easy on the joints and can target specific muscles depending on the angle.
Happy Functional Strength Training!
