Functional aerobics training combines fundamental movement patterns (pushing, pulling, squatting, and core stability) with aerobic conditioning to develop cardiovascular health, strength, and endurance simultaneously. Effective training requires proper movement quality with muscle activation, appropriate volume and intensity, and realistic goal-setting. Workouts can be modified for different fitness levels through regressions (e.g., knee push-ups instead of full push-ups, band-assisted pull-ups) and progressions, allowing beginners to start with modified versions and advance as they improve. Rest periods between rounds should be adjusted based on training goals: 90+ seconds for endurance training and 2-3 minutes for strength training.

We continue. You're killing me, brother.
You're killing me.
>> Me, too. You did better. You did better than me.
>> I didn't understand how hard it is. Uh, quick question. As someone I understand you do personal training, you do functional, but someone who has best their work around body weight movements.
What challenges are you facing at the moment?
>> In my opinion, the biggest problem we are facing in the personal training.
>> Yeah.
>> Or three things.
>> Okay.
First thing is the quality of movements.
>> Okay.
>> Maybe people doing the movement looking correctly but in inside the muscle >> there's no tension. Yes.
>> Okay.
>> Activation phase is very important for any one need to go for a good training.
Second one volume frequency intensity.
>> Yeah.
>> All the people when they decided to go to the gym I will go seven days a week. Yeah, >> bro. You did nothing.
>> But there's no >> you will go to do seven days a week.
>> So this is the second problem. Third one, unrealistic goals.
>> Okay.
>> So someone decided to go to the gym to change his lifestyle.
>> Yeah.
>> He alive for a lot of years in a bad bad way.
>> Yeah. Yeah, >> he decided to go to go to the gym and change everything >> to be imperfect one two 3 months is it's not real ago.
>> I understand.
>> So after 1 month, 2 months by time he didn't see any results he decided to go back. So this is a problem now.
>> Okay. So guys, I will leave his details right below if anyone needs personal training. But come in mind, do not come asking for personal training with unrealistic goals because he's not the type of coach who will attain it. Do not come to him if you're in a position not to learn. You need to be in a position to be coachable in order for you to achieve your goals and to learn better.
And if you have made it this far, leave a like on the video. We appreciate your support. What are we doing next?
>> Thank you, bro.
Nice to meet you, brother.
We're going to go through this over and over. This is another last and final round of our second uh functional movement. Tell us how many minutes can you do? How many sets can you do in 3 minutes? Let's go. Woo! Let's go, bro.
Let's go, brother. Woo! I'm ready.

3 One 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 One round done. Let's go.
I think we're going to make three. We can make three. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. Woo!
1 2 3 4 5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Oh.
Oh. Crunches.
3 4 5 6 7 8 5 Oh, 20 seconds. for 25 seconds. I'm pushing. I need a third round.
3 4 5 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 2 3 4 5 Time has gone. Come on.
Two and a half. Two and a half is the best I could do. Let me know what can you do in the same temp of time. Wow. I understand you're very busy. How are we finishing this?
>> Good job, brother.
>> Also, I need you to know something.
>> This type of exercise also you can go as a regression and progression. Yeah. And this is a very good type of the workouts. You can do it whatever you are a beginner, intermediate. So this time this exercise like a Russian pull-up.
>> Yeah.
>> You can increase or decrease. It's related by the gravity.
>> Okay.
>> Also the push-ups you can do knee push-ups.
>> Okay.
>> Single leg you can do one leg on the chair on the box. Crunches is basically if you can do setup it's fine.
>> Yeah. crunches is fine. So this is a good point of the functional training.
You can do it whatever you are beginner strong but what I promise you with you will be strong whatever you are.
>> Okay? So you need to start from somewhere regardless of your fitness level. You don't have to do uh two and a half rounds or two rounds of this. Just set a timer for 3 minutes. Do it as slow as possible and you'll see yourself improve and work better over time. that I can guarantee you the gym doesn't lie.
>> Yes, that's it.
>> What are we doing next?
>> Next, we will go to the work.
>> You guys are sealed. We have gone into a workout. We have We've done 10 different rounds, five exercises of uh uh different variations. You saw us do the pull-up. You saw us do the dips. You saw us do the squats and the leg raises. We did that for five sets. And then you saw us do the second round, the second set of exercises, which were the Russian Australian pull-ups. And then we did push-ups on the floor. You saw us do uh >> reverse lunges. And then you saw us do the crunches. All of these are full body exercises. You can try it in your own time. You don't have to do five rounds.
You can do two rounds, three rounds, whatever the case. And then F's Instagram is right below. He's he's a professional in Dubai. He's at the moment best in fitness fast and uh Dra City Center. So get through him. He'll give you personal training. He's someone who does personal training. But today, today's video, I wanted us to focus more on functional aerobics. We didn't put out the music in, so it's more of a functional workout. Uh, it was an amazing workout, very challenging for me, and I feel this was something better. If you're new to the channel, be sure to like, subscribe, share this video. I'll see you on the next workout.
Thank you, brother. Oh, I left you hanging. Ah, my bro.
