Why Functional Fitness Beats CrossFit After 50

Your friend’s CrossFit WOD left her with a torn rotator cuff. Your goal isn’t ripped abs—it’s carrying groceries pain-free at 70. Functional fitness trains real-life movements (squatting, lifting) safely.

Workout Plan:

  • Best equipment: Resistance bands (easy on joints), kettlebell swings (builds explosive strength).
  • Sample routine:
    • Monday: 10x chair stands (strength).
    • Wednesday: 20-minute brisk walk (cardio).
    • Friday: Yoga for balance.
