Functional Path Training: Burn with Vern Breakfast Club

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.

Burn with Vern Breakfast Club

We have just revived the Breakfast Club in our now infamous high tech garage training center. Today it was a pleasant 81 degrees and 87% humidity when we were working out. The regulars are myself, Chris Dapolito, former Quarterback at Duke who is playing American Football in Europe, Jon Haskins, former pro football player that I have worked with over the years just getting in shape and Kristen Gambetta, my daughter just home for a few days vacation. This is the workout pattern for the Foundation Phase from now until July 30. Enjoy the pictures.

The thing that look like pruning shears is the Gambettasizer wrist & hand mobilizer, and don't forget the Kristinfitnesswand that looks something like a weed wacker. All blog readers are welcome to come on down & be the first to get the work out of your life on Vern's own patented special proprioceptive pad he calls his "lawn".

Oh, and my wife pointed out that the garage is in violation of Feng Shui. The Chi life force is leaking right out of the garage door! One of those plastic pink flamingos will chase it right back in.
