Running out of ideas to diversify a Functional Training? If so, we're here to help you with that mission by giving some tips on how to make this type of workout more complete and dynamic.
Assuming that a Functional Training uses a set of exercises that stimulate different parts of the body, it's essential to explore the various equipment that can help you diversify and further energize your workout.
Balance, flexibility, conditioning, endurance, and agility are some of the key benefits of Functional Training, allowing the athlete not only to work various muscles in a more diverse way but also to prevent injuries or help improve muscle definition.
The Needed "Boost"
There is a wide range of equipment you can include in this type of training. The BOOMFIT Wall Balls are an example of equipment you can add to Functional Trainings to make them even more complete.
Designed to improve movement coordination, cardio, flexibility, endurance, and strength, Wall Balls are an excellent tool to work on strength, speed, and explosiveness, complementing various exercises included in this training, such as squat throws, push-ups with ball touch, or trunk rotations, for example.
The different weights - 2Kg, 4Kg, 6Kg, 8Kg, 10Kg, 15Kg - also allow the workout to be adapted to your athlete's performance level, challenging them from session to session.
One of the great advantages of including this equipment in a workout is ensuring the athlete is effectively working the entire body.
Through exercises such as side throws, tosses, or wall ball shots—the most typical exercise—your athlete will be working the quadriceps, glutes, chest, biceps, triceps, shoulders, and hamstrings, in addition to increasing heart rate and motor coordination.
How to Choose the Right Wall Ball for a Workout?
There are some aspects you should consider when choosing a Wall Ball to include in the training plan you're applying.
👉 Athlete's Performance
We can't stress enough that every athlete is unique. Therefore, choosing the Wall Ball and the intensity of exercises you will set for your athlete, according to the defined training plan, must take into account the limitations and goals established, as well as the current performance. Try to identify the most suitable weight for the workout: usually, beginners use weights around 4Kg to 6Kg, while more advanced athletes can handle 15Kg right away without major constraints.
👉 Equipment Durability
Besides the human factor, the technical factor is also important. Thus, you should evaluate the characteristics of the space where your athlete will train, ensuring both the durability of the equipment and everyone's safety. If you are thinking about changing the routine and promoting an outdoor workout, for example, remember that the floors and walls may not be ideal for training with a wall ball.
Final Considerations
Wall Balls are versatile equipment and can be an excellent add-on to the workouts you provide, helping improve coordination and introducing a wide variety of exercises for your athletes.
The wide range of weights available at BOOMFIT, from 2 to 15 kgs, allows for gradually increasing difficulty, challenging limits and setting new goals.
