All hail the MetCon (metabolic conditioning) workout! It’s mainly designed to push your body with brief sets of high-intensity movement and minimal rest in-between, therefore improving your body’s energy efficiency and overall fitness. It’s also been shown to increase lean muscle mass, and pairs well with other forms of resistance training and endurance exercise.
It’s worth mentioning that when you’re moving through the high-intensity sets of this MetCon DIY, your form is of utmost importance – maintain the integrity of each exercise, substitute with any necessary modifications and give it your best effort.
Cheers!
