Train Movements & Muscles

LADIES, LET’S BE HONEST, we all want to look good naked. A word to the wise, though: this requires effort, consistency and discipline. Our bodies were ‘engineered’ to move, and the less we move the more ‘paralysed’ and sluggish we become.

- Lil Bianchi

A body that moves – that is able, feisty, fit and strong – is easily recognisable, not just by the tone of its structure, but also by the glow it possesses that illuminates the physique. The human form is built to function: to push, pull, lift and carry. It is for this reason that advocates of functional training often say “train movements, not muscle.” The more able you are to express your strength and fitness through movement, the more your physique reaps the rewards and ultimately appears more alluring when naked. There is no doubt that we all need to move better and function more efficiently, but in a world where the desire for enhanced aesthetics often trumps functional fitness, it is pertinent to ask: is this enough?
