What IS the difference between exercises and functional movements? A while ago I did a video on why I though pull-ups weren’t a functional movement and from comments I’ve received, I’m not sure I did the best job explaining my point. So I thought I’d take a broader approach and cover the question in general. So in this video I’ll cover what I consider to be an exercise and what I consider a functional movement. And I’ll also talk about the differences between the two. Also remember, this is my opinion based on my years of experience, research, and training. No one has the final word on what a functional movement is or isn’t. I’d love to hear your perspective in the comments below! Thanks for watching.
