Metabolic Session – Give It All You Have

Metabolic training is a combination of strength and cardiovascular training. It pushes both systems hard making you give it all you have. This workout uses a kettlebell, bodyweight exercises. A simple, but effective way to build strength and burn fat.

The advantage of metabolic sessions is that they let you do more work in the same amount of time. Alwyn Cosgrove put posted a review of circuit training vs traditional training and concluded:

The take home message is that circuit training with heavy resistance can provide the same benefits as a traditional strength training program, with the extra addition of fat loss, all in a shorter time frame.

Metabolic Session

Here is a metabolic conditioning workout that I have enjoyed. It is a timed workout that only lasts 15 minutes. Sounds simple, right? It is tough. I managed to finish one more set than last time, setting a new personal record. I completed a total of 11 sets.

Give it a shot and see how you do.

The workout consists of only three exercises in decreasing reps as you move from one movement to the next. Take rests only as needed and keep moving.

• 15 reps of bodyweight squats
• 10 reps of two-handed kettlebell swings
• 5 reps of burpees

What the heck is this new style of workout that fitness experts are calling “Metabolic Resistance Training”?

Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT) workouts are advanced fat burning sessions that are a hybrid-fusion of bodybuilding set and rep schemes with an interval training twist all in a total body workout system.

Bodybuilding workouts are metabolic, but they fail to be ultra-metabolic because those workouts focus on one body part at a time.

So the next step is to do total body workouts.

Plus, the TT MRT workouts add in a greater interval training response for fat burning. You’ll love it when you use some high rep bodyweight exercises, kettlebell swings, and short sprints.

My MRT program contain two different types of MRT workouts.

First, there is the heavier resistance, classic MRT program.

And second, there is the higher rep, Metabolic Conditioning style workouts.

Both are used in my MRT program.

The workouts are different than anything they’ve tried before.

I’ve managed to create workouts that are fun, fast, effective, and even give you a bit of that bodybuilder pump and fatigue.

It’s the best of all worlds, and the results are dramatic – and quickly noticeable.

So get ready to achieve more with your workouts – and get faster fat burning results than you have gotten with any other program. TT MRT is the hottest thing going in the fat loss world today.
