• Functional Fitness EXPLAINED: How to Train Like an Athlete

  What does functional fitness actually mean—and how do you know if your training is truly functional? In this episode, performance coach Judd Lienhard breaks down one of the most overused and misunderstood concepts in the fitness industry.Judd explains what “functionality” really is, why most definitions miss the mark, and how to determine which exercises actually carry over to strength, movement, and real-world capability. He explores why flashy or “functional-looking” movements often fail, why no exercise is inherently functional or nonfunctional, and how to design training that supports the way you live, perform, and move.You’ll learn:How to determine whether an exercise is functional for your goalsWhy the “it must look functional” mentality leads people astrayThe difference between training strength vs. endurance (and why it matters)Why lunges often build more real-world capability than maxing out squatsHow isolating muscles can sometimes be the most functional choiceWhy aesthetics still matter for long-term capability and resilienceUltimately, real functional fitness is individualized, purpose-driven, and built around the demands of your actual life—not trends, internet dogma, or theoretical scenarios. Judd gives you a clear, practical framework for building training that makes you stronger, more capable, and more athletic.Train with JuddStart your 7-day free trial of Judd’s fitness app — the exclusive home of MASS Method programming for movement, athleticism, strength, and speed. https://www.juddlienhard.comAbout the ShowThe Judd Lienhard Podcast explores what it means to Always Be An Athlete — in mind, body, and life.
