4 Week Functional Strength Program is an introduction to functional fitness. The program includes 5 different functional workouts each week and has demo videos for all movements, it also includes a short conditioning warm-up piece that varies day to day and each week.
Workouts are broken up into Strength and Accessory movements each day. Throughout a full week of workouts, you will get movements that focus on every important functional primal mover, which include Squats, Lunges, Pressing, Pulling, Running, Hinging or lifting, and Rotational work, everything that each person does on a daily basis outside of the gym.
This 4-week workout program stays between 45% & 65% of an individual 1 rep max, so we are focusing on building basic Strength as well as Hypertrophy (Muscle Growth).
