With the wide range self-defense training and fitness classes taught at 914 Krav Maga, any resident of Scarsdale, New York, can learn the fundamentals and techniques of martial arts. For older adults, intense aerobics may not be feasible; functional fitness, however, is a practical form of training that can positively impact your wellness at every stage of life.

Functional fitness focuses on muscle groups and movements that you use during everyday tasks, like carrying groceries or mopping the floors. Functional fitness involves training these muscles by mimicking the movements of those everyday activities, strengthening your body and lowering your risk of injury. This is a practical training option for older individuals who may not be able to participate in more strenuous forms of exercise but still want to enjoy the benefits of regularly working out.

The functional fitness classes at 914 Krav Maga incorporate multiple joints and muscles, providing a more balanced approach to physical health that reduces your risk of injury. Squats, for instance, are useful functional fitness exercises because they strengthen the lower-body muscles that enable you to balance while getting in and out of a chair, for example.

By signing up for a functional fitness class at 914 Krav Maga, you’ll be able to increase your strength and balance, reduce your risk of injury, and improve your everyday mobility. Every class is scheduled one-on-one, so you’ll receive instruction tailored to your unique needs and abilities.
