What is function to you? Is it strength and coordination? Is it the ability to perform most physical activities with grace? Or is it being able to stand on a balance disc with one leg and do squats?
To me, function is the body’s ability to efficiently perform this workout we call life, with a great variety of speed, strength and coordination.
Efficiently is the key word, because it denotes that the muscles are working together as a team, and that a foundation of joint stability and mobility have been established, thus allowing safe speeds and forces to develop.
This teamwork is what allows the joints to remain in a healthy position, no matter what the task is, and is the key to performance and injury prevention.

More often than not, the way people train these days is dangerous, ineffective and leads to excessive wear and tear on the body, plus irreversible damage to the joints.

That is why Got Function? was created.

Below is a chart showing the overall progression theme for Got Function? The first two phases are the most important because they lay the foundation for everything else. For now, this site will focus on the first two phases – you can find many amazing resources online to fit your needs for the final three phases, but the first two are where Got Function? separates itself from the rest in building a functional foundation.
