Movement with the Micklos

Functional Fitness
Coach
Connor Micklo

This is a minimal equipment beginners level program. It will consist of 3 workouts a week alternating between upper body and lower body workouts. Each workout will take roughly 30-45 minutes to complete and will only require dumbbells and/or kettlebells, a box, a bench, and a long band.    

This program is designed so that you can make the workouts fit your goals. To build more strength use heavier dumbbells/kettlebells and to build more cardio vascular endurance use lighter dumbbells/kettlebells. 

You will have access to this program for 1 year so feel free to complete multiple times. For example a beginner may find the most benefit from completing the program with lighter weights and at a higher intensity. Once the program is completed start back at day 1 with more challenging weights.
