Functional Strength 101
This is a really great beginner/intermediate plan. I really liked the different warm up exercises and the focus on functional training. My only critique is that I would like to do each exercise for another week instead of 2 weeks. This would allow me to fully learn the exercises before moving on to the next variation.
I loved the video explanations given from the workouts. I learn something new every other exercise day. It helped along and some days were harder than others. Kind of sucks you can’t swap out certain exercises to kind of make the day complete unless you pay for subscription. Some exercises didn’t have video for explanation some showed a quick motion picture but a video could’ve helped without having to go to YouTube to look it up. Other than those, this was an easier program I actually started with as a newbie and I’m almost done. I actually came back from a 4-month break so I lost my progress 🤣 but these workouts are in easier side so not too much trouble. I would say this program helped me gain maybe 10-15lbs of muscle during my workout regime. I’m not sure about weight loss, but I was dieting so I didn’t notice too much of a difference. I was noticing I was gaining strength on repeat exercises later in the program by week 4-5. I like the conditioning part of it but also I wish there was some ab-dense workouts included to train those significantly as a beginner. This helped me out and I’m happy with my results.
Easy to follow, challenging at points.
Perfect for beginners/novices that want to gain strength that provides mobility for every day life !
Great results and easy to train at home or at the gym
This is the only weight lifting program I haven’t quit. Many of the workouts don’t require additional training equipment so I have been able to continue the workouts even when I don’t feel like going to the gym. I’m 40, F and have running injuries. This is a nice entry into weight lifting. I will keep using this program
Good all-rounder
I love it, Justina did an excellent job! I can't believe this is free.
I really enjoyed this program. I did all 8 weeks. I haven't lifted in awhile so I felt like I was starting over as far as weight. I was quickly able to grow what I could lift. I tried to challenge myself to do a little more each workout, whether it was more weight or more reps. Program gives a wide range of substitutions so I able to adjust it however I wanted. The exercises I didn't know was clearly explained. Would highly recommend.
I did this program on a reduced schedule (1-2 times per week instead of 3), and still experienced lots of benefits. It was great to have a warmup included in the workouts, and to remove any planning requirements. The program helped me go from zero strength training to including it consistently, which was the biggest win for me.
