From posing as\u00a0model<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0at\u00a0functional training<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0the distance may seem considerable: this type of training is apparently something alien to those who, for work, generally have to have a slim, slender figure and who in many cases try to achieve this with a combination of cardio and diet. A\u00a0prejudice<\/strong><\/b>this, which\u00a0is based on a more general tendency to think that this type of training only leads to an increase in muscle mass<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0and therefore aesthetically may even be harmful to the female body. To deny this completely, however, is the Croatian model\u00a0Sara Vulinovic-Zlatan<\/strong><\/b>who for several months now has adopted the functional as his main training method to keep fit and who has also collaborated with Sidea<\/a> e OUTRACE<\/a><\/strong> for the realisation of the Catalogue 2018<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sara, how did you discover the functional training<\/a>?<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

\"I have been modelling for 10 years and have always had a passion for fitness, but I had the opportunity to attend the first course WTA<\/a> only in March 2018 and convinced me right away, being the type of workout I had been looking for for years. Generally, the training methods and programmes I was given in gyms with machines did not help me in many ways<\/em>\".<\/p>\n

How is your training composed?<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

\"I always do a warm-up and a cool-down with exercises Primitive<\/a>. During the main training instead I like to alternate functional exercises, for example with kettlebell<\/a> e Flying<\/a>with additional elements of Primitive<\/em>\".<\/p>\n

What benefits have you experienced with the functional?<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

\"From the very beginning, I have had major improvements in both aesthetics and the posture<\/a>which is certainly fundamental in my work but had always been my weak point. Specifically, through functional training I was able to immediately achieve goals of strength, control and postural balance, as well as aesthetics<\/em>\".<\/p>\n

Women, in particular, are often afraid that functional training will lead them to gain too much muscle mass. What advice can you give on this?<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

\"Personally, I was the first to be afraid of gaining muscle mass in an 'unfeminine' way, and this is what actually happened to me when I was still using the wrong methodology: in classic gym training, the various machines force us to perform exercises that isolate individual muscles. The course of Woman Functional Training of the WTA<\/a> Instead, it gave me the ability to move freely in space, using all my muscle chains. As far as I am concerned, it is finally the type of training through which as a woman you can achieve aesthetic goals, keeping your body fit and, above all, healthy. For these reasons I would recommend it to anyone<\/em>\".<\/p>\n\n \n
