Functional Fitness is more than exercise; it’s a lifestyle. Having the ability to freely move about and engage in movements that help you with your daily life, health and daily performance is vital to one's health. However, with the current climate of fear and microscopic viruses, do not let limited resources stand in the way of your mental and physical sanity.
Anywhere Functional Muscle Fitness is a program that allows fitness participants of all levels and passions to engage in an at-home fitness routine, which takes in to account three major factors:
Time
Space
Resources
Time: Being at home means less uninterrupted time than normal. For this reason, we shortened the program by selecting exercises that engage multiple muscle groups, core and high levels of metabolic workload.
Space: With the understanding that there is a limited ability to partake in activities outside or in large facilities during this time, the exercises and workout structures had to be crafted as to allow performance within a tight personal space.
Resources: normal fitness centers and health clubs come fully equipped with machines, bands, barbells, dumbbells and more. At home, we often have nothing but our furniture, our bodies and maybe some bands. The Anywhere Functional Muscle Fitness program takes this into account by only having a few band exercises included in the program.
The program is a multiweek workout routine with an easy-to-follow set up that directs and guides you through six days:
Monday is “Tone Those Legs”
Tuesday is “Sculpted Upper Body”
Wednesday is “Tissue Recovery & Stretch”, maybe some Yoga
Thursday is “Cardio, Abs & Glutes”
Friday is “Total Body Pump It Up”
Saturday is “Tissue Recovery & Stretch”, maybe some Yoga
Stay motivated, Stay Fit and Get Functional!
It's also, not gonna lie, gasp-inducingly handsome. Both back and front – that METAS-certified MT5602-IU is almost as nicely turned out on the back, link as the watch link is topside – it's got all the sable seductiveness of an SR-71 Blackbird. Unlike the spy plane, though, the color scheme of the BB Ceramic isn't driven by practical considerations – it is, instead, design for the sake link of design.
Omega's updated Speedmaster, complete with a bullet-proof Master Chronometer caliber, is $6,300. Don't hang around if you're offered one of those by your local AD. And TAG Heuer's Carrera Chronograph, which for many consumers will now have too link many iterations to keep track of, can serve up pretty little things such as the Carrera 160 Years Montreal Limited link Edition ($6,750) and still leave change for a top-notch link beater (Tudor's hardier Black Bay, around $3,500, would do it).
For the sake of accuracy, by the way, I have to mention something James link Stacey pointed out to me, which is that while we commonly say that hands are set to 10:10, a lot of the time they are actually set to something between 10:08 and 10:10 – if the tip of the minute hand is lying directly on an hour marker it can be harder to see the tip of the minute link hand accurately and it may introduce an asymmetry that defeats link the smiley-face effect.

Among the most immediately aesthetically appealing details is, no question, its cherry color. When the light hits the sunray finish of the red link dial, the whole piece has link the effect of glowing from within. This vibrant saturation is complemented perfectly by the Lucent link Steel case – the brand's newly introduced alloy that glistens to almost a bright white depending on the angle from which you view it.
