Functional Workouts for Busy Parents

With so much on your parent to-do list, your workout may get pushed to the side. No more excuses – our 4-week programming can help you fit in time for you and your fitness!

School is back in session. Another busy semester awaits you and your kiddos – take charge of your health, stress management, and schedule by utilizing this 4-week program to keep your workouts on track. The goal of this program is to help busy parents accomplish multiple categories of fitness training – basic strength movements, cardiovascular conditioning and core training – in an efficient, effective and fun manner. Each workout follows similar exercise patterning (Cardio – Upper – Lower – Core – Cardio – Total Body – Core) and includes exercise progression each week. Below is a list of what equipment is needed for your workouts. While all of these movements are unique to Superfunctional, many can be performed with other suspension fitness products such as TRX® or CrossCore®.

Equipment Needed

  • Queenax
  • Battle Rope
  • Plyometric Platform
  • Superfunctional
  • Suspension Abs
  • Mobile Parallels
  • Wall Bars
  • Up Strength

Workout Recommendations

  • Ensure that you complete the warm-up and cool-down for each workout.
  • Perform each workout 2 times/week, allowing 2-3 days of recovery between workouts.
  • Follow the suggested reps or time as listed. However, listen to your body. Take short rest periods as needed during work intervals to ensure proper exercise technique and safety. You also may increase recovery interval length after a specific movement, if needed.
  • Find videos of many of the movement patterns here, as well as set-up information for Superfunctional.
