This Superfunctional™ triplex workout challenges your upper body and core with traditional and dynamic movement patterns. The Superfunctional bar provides stability and confidence as you take on new motion paths and greater ranges of motion.

The first exercise in each triplex focuses on stabilizing and/or strengthening the shoulders, arms and core. The second movement challenges strength, coordination and stamina. Modify or amplify these exercises by varying your training angle. Finally, recover and restore during the final minute with a mobility exercise.

Workout Guidelines
