Functional Path Training: The Garage

Functional Path Training

The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results. Seeking to follow and better define the functional path is a continuing journey, fortunately it is a journey that many have traveled before. Functional Path training is getting back to the basics of movement. It is learning to tune into the body and it’s inherent wisdom to produce rhythmic flowing movement.

The Garage – Driveway

This isn’t quite the garage, it is actually the driveway. It gives you a pretty good picture of the simplicity. Actually the BOSU is pretty high tech for us. This is the Burn with Vern breakfast club from two summers ago. This is what I can “stepping stones.” All we are doing is trying to recreate what I used to do as a kid, jumping from rock to rock in the creek behind our house.

Propel yourself across the floor, using your hands to bound from target to target, forward, back, sideways. Great lat workout.

p.s.- used to teach adapted P.E.

Are there any others out there who have applied Vern's stuff to this population?
