LES MILLS FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH is complementary to other strength workouts, such as BODYPUMP™ and STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT™. Whatever type of strength training you choose, we recommend no more than a total of 2-3 strength training workouts a week. For the ideal combo, match your strength workouts with some cardio sessions and avoid strength training on consecutive days.
