Where to get started?
I will post a few introductory links here, listed in order of length and complexity.
Functional Biomechanics By Gary W. Gray: http://www.performbetter.com/catalog...E_funcbioggray Ron Jones Functional Training Web Page: http://www.ronjones.org/Health&Fitne...ning/index.htm 5-Page Book Exerpt from Mike Boyle's Functional Training for Sports: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0736...0D#reader-link Note: I especially like this link because it explains the whole TLT training philosophy in a nutshell. And the fully-loaded, NASM's description- The Essentials of Integrated Training - Part 1 By Mike Clark http://www.nasm.org/ContinuingEducat...ainingPT1.aspx I'm sure that's plenty for you guys to get started.

ellen2: Thanks for letting us know about Mark Vestagen digital cable show. I didn't know anything about it. I think I have that cable service, so I will check it out. I highly recommend his book Core Performance, it's a great read about functional training for the fitness enthusiast -- like you guys!
He also has a web site: http://www.coreperformance.com/ I haven't spent any time there because I don't want to pay for a membership (free for a trial one, then $80/year), but it looks like there are some interesting interactive training tools (like fitness and nutrition logs), exercise videoclips, online support, etc. You can click on the virtual tour to see if it appeals to you, but I think you can find a lot of that stuff elsewhere on the net for free/less money. Lydia: Good for you getting into functional fitness. Yes, walking involves a lot of core demands. Most every activity does, actually. Janet |
