Functional Strength Training

Choose Functional Strength Training when performing dynamic strength sequences for the upper body, lower body or full body, using small equipment such as dumbbells, resistance bands and medicine balls, or with no equipment at all.

Traditional strength training is for weightlifting type workouts.


Both workouts measure only time and calories burnt.
