Whether you’re a personal trainer or just a fitness enthusiast, an understanding of the metabolic conditioning program helps you and your clients achieve fitness goals faster. In this article, I’ve shared all about metabolic conditioning (MetCon), including the best workouts and routines.
This guide will help you design a MetCon workout program and scale your fitness to the next level.
Metabolic conditioning (MetCon) is a kind of workout program that involves performing bodyweight cardio and resistance exercises and helps enhance aerobic and anaerobic fitness.
Some of the best examples of metabolic workouts include Circuit Training, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), and Resistance Training (barbell and dumbbell complexes).
Circuit training involves performing a set of exercises with no rest between them. It is a high-intensity training program requiring you to perform exercises at a moderate to maximum heart rate.
It helps increase weight loss, enhances fat-free mass, promotes cardiovascular health, strengthens the entire body, and improves aerobic and anaerobic fitness.1, 2, 3
This program involves performing bodyweight and weighted exercises at a moderate pace, neither slow nor high intensity. It is great for people who find HIIT challenging.
