Lunging for power

Iron Grip CrossFit – CrossFit

There is a purpose for each of the movements that we practice in our warm ups and workouts. There is a reason we prefer to workout using movements that require a large range of motion across multiple joints. These are typically the same movements that allow us to generate the greatest amount of power. More power means more intensity means more fitness. But there is another, more long-term line of reasoning to these movements. Practicing these “functional movements,” as they are called, is in fact one of the greatest guarantees against ever becoming feeble. Age has historically brought with it an increased risk of falling and a corresponding increase in the severity of the consequences of falling. But the longer we can remain proficient, or at least competent in these functional movements, the more we can negate those risks. But first we have to get good at them. That means doing our homework, so to speak.
