Functional training is a method that activates all the major muscle groups with compound movements. It should develop all of the major fitness attributes: strength, flexibility, speed, power, agility, anaerobic, and cardio endurance, balance, and a wide variety of motor skills.
Coach John "Sully" Sullivan of Excel Sports and Fitness has demonstrated the method of functional training to a group of female athletes. This program is designed to give a spectrum of intensities and "functional" experiences and how women can benefit from this type of training.
Here is a link that demonstrates "Functional Training".

Description:
Broken down into four circuits with 3-4 exercises per circuit. Depending on rest periods, loads, and other variables; some circuits stressed less intensity/aerobic capacity, while others stressed higher intensity/power or endurance.
Personally, I love a hardcore workout any day!!!
