Machine repetitions are easy enough.<strong> After a while, these can become extremely tedious<\/strong>. You may even feel as if you are just doing the same workout each time you go to a gym. But, if you choose to adopt a <a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/three-ways-natural-movement\/\">natural movement-orientated<\/a> workout, each exercise session will feel different. Think about it: you will challenge yourself against the environment in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the 4 core reasons why you\u2019ll get more out of natural movement workouts than machine repetitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 WAYS NATURAL MOVEMENT WORKOUTS ARE BETTER THAN MACHINE REPETITIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. The ability to adapt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Undertaking the same training routines in the same environments can cause limitations to your capability \u2014 not to mention injuries. Think about it: when your workout does not take natural movement into consideration, you\u2019ll end up <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/521047-reasons-to-not-work-the-same-muscles-every-day\/\">overusing the same muscles<\/a> over and over<\/strong>. By varying your movement patterns to different spaces and environments (i.e. the trees, walls and structures), you add a sense of freedom to your exercise. Nature plays a crucial role in <a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/training-philosophy\/\">EVO\u2019s philosophy<\/a>. We <strong>embrace outdoor training<\/strong> and inside EVO clubs we offer <strong>unique <a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/functional-training-weight-loss\/\">functional training<\/a>,<\/strong> aiming to improve natural human movement and to enhance your day to day performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/evofitness_switzerland\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"105046\" src=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/evo-ch-blog_en.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram - EVO Fitness Switzerland\" class=\"wp-image-105046\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. No set days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With machine repetitions, you tend to choose a muscle set to work and focus your efforts into strengthening these areas. Pushing yourself through repetition after repetition on the same machine may help build that specific muscle-up, but <strong>you aren\u2019t giving your body the overall workout that it needs<\/strong>. With natural movements, there isn\u2019t a leg day or an arm day &#8211; <strong>every day is an all-around body workout.<\/strong> Having to push your entire body through a workout can be hard at first, but the challenge will be something you thrive on as you become more accustomed to natural workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Solving unique problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re undertaking natural movement exercises, the challenge should be to<strong> solve problems only you have<\/strong>. Shifting your workouts to make you <strong>think more technically<\/strong> will increase the difficulty of your exercises. You will be training your body through skilful<a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/evomove\/\"> and purposeful movements<\/a>, the natural way. Going to a regular gym and doing machine based repetition requires no ingenuity from the user, as the exercises are straightforward and offer an easy routine to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Task orientation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people go to the gym to improve body strength by using the machinery to complete a repetition-based workout. Natural movement training works on<strong> improving your daily movements for day to day tasks<\/strong>. It is designed to work on stability, manipulation and locomotion, three components that machine repetitions can\u2019t cover the same way. Natural movement training <strong>improves your overall well-being<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For exercise enthusiasts who want to push themselves, a natural movement-based exercise plan will offer them a<strong> more rewarding challenge than traditional machine-based plans<\/strong>. Repetition will quickly become obsolete. Natural movement training creates unique and technical problems for their bodies to solve and makes their muscles work harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trial.evofitness.eu\/ch\/?lang=en&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=blog-banner&amp;utm_campaign=trial\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/evo-at-trial-cta-1day-blog-male.png\" alt=\"evo at trial cta 1day blog male\" class=\"wp-image-114637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/evo-at-trial-cta-1day-blog-male.png 1024w, https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/evo-at-trial-cta-1day-blog-male-960x422.png 960w, https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/evo-at-trial-cta-1day-blog-male-768x338.png 768w, https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/evo-at-trial-cta-1day-blog-male-480x211.png 480w, https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/evo-at-trial-cta-1day-blog-male-640x281.png 640w, https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/evo-at-trial-cta-1day-blog-male-720x316.png 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Step outside your comfort zone: here are the 4 core reasons why you\u2019ll get more out of natural movement workouts than machine repetitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":56854,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Natural Movement Workotus vs. Machine Repetitions | EVO Fitness","_seopress_titles_desc":"Step outside your comfort zone: here are the 4 core reasons why you\u2019ll get more out of natural movement workouts than machine repetitions.","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[126,140,268],"class_list":["post-56853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-discover","tag-workout","tag-functional-training","tag-natural-movement"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
