“Met Con” is short for Metabolic Conditioning. The point of a “Met Con” workout is to encourage a high caloric burn, but it requires working at your maximum intensity. Breaks are encouraged when work load is rigorous, and should only happen when absolutely necessary. Hit this DIY by warming up well, and when you get to Part 3 put in your MAX effort. After Part 3, take a cool down walk or jog (or combination of both) before starting Part 4 (you will NEED the break if you are maxing out effort). If you aren’t getting fatigued with MAX effort maybe its time… to up your weights!!!
Met Con = MAX EFFORT!
