Functional Foundations

It's another great day to lift

The foundation of functional fitness is the ability to perform various movement patterns in each plane of motion. I implement push, pull, squat, lunge, hinge, press, and rotational core-focused movements that are built into an easy to follow six week program that is designed to prepare you, mentally and physically, for future training!

About The Program

This program is designed for beginners in the gym! It will introduce you to the functional basics of resistance training. It focuses on the following movement patterns: push, pull, squat, lunge, hinge, overhead press, and rotational core stability. Each week, the exercises will get progressively more difficult, but the movement patterns will remain relatively the same. This gradual increase in load/demand on your body through repetitive patterns is known as progressive overload, and it is the most effective way to build muscle and strength. Rest and recovery are equally as important as the workouts themselves, so they are built into this program as well. This six week program will give you all of the basics you need to continue with future programs. Enjoy! *This program can also be done from home if you don't have access to a gym. I do strongly recommend using free weights, bands, and elevated surfaces as instructed for each workout.*

    About Hannah Farruggio

    Certified Personal Trainer & Corrective Exercise Specialist

    I used to think of health and fitness as an all or nothing type of deal. Through years of trial and error, I have found a balance in my mental and physical health through training in ways that fit into my day-to-day life, and more importantly, I train in ways that I enjoy! I know firsthand how complicated and confusing a fitness journey can be, so I have created these programs to support your journey in the gym and to meet you where you are. The only hard work you’ll have to do, is in the gym.
