This is the line for those of you who like to exercise and want to become stronger, both physically and mentally.  

– We are seeing a clear growth in interest in exercise, health and lifestyle among young people, says line teacher Heidi Merete Sægrov-Øygard.   

– Our goal is to give the students a year where they can train in a variety of ways, learn how training, diet and rest are related, while also experiencing all the great things that folk high school life has to offer. 

At Functional Training , students work on strength, conditioning, mobility and nutrition throughout the year. The teaching is practical and varied, from powerlifting, obstacle courses, running technique and yoga to mountain hikes. 

Students receive close follow-up and help to set personal goals, and many experience a boost in both motivation and mastery. 

– It's not just about getting stronger, but about understanding the body and developing good habits that last, says Heidi. 

The line trip goes to Gran Canaria, where training is combined with sun, swimming and relaxation. Throughout the year there will also be joint trips, competitions and joint projects with other lines. 

Functional training is the ninth line of Fjordane Folk High School , and fits well with the school's profile, which focuses on activity, learning and community.
