This course is the perfect Introduction to Functional Fitness.

Over the 6 weeks we will cover all the fundamentals of Functional Fitness, from heavy lifting to fast sweaty metcons.

In each session will work on each of the fundamental functional movements (squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull and carry) and will also cover the most common movements you will typically see in metcons (like dumbbell snatches, barbell thrusters, box jumps, wall balls, and more).

The first session of the week will be strength based. Here, we will focus on compound lifts and accessory work.

The second session session of the week be fitness based. Here, we will focus on metcons and conditioning pieces.

By the end of the 6 weeks you will have a greater understand of how to perform exercises correct and safely, and be more confident performing and following a functional fitness programme.
