Metabolic Workouts
Metabolic workouts can best be described as brief bouts (30-90 sec) of intense strength training combined with brief bouts on intense cardiovascular training. These workouts are usually done in a circuit wit little to no rest in between exercises. When done correctly metabolic workouts produce outstanding results in strength, stamina and body composition.
At MRSPFitness we specialize in metabolic workouts. About 99% of our clients workout for 60 minutes including warm up and in that time we need to give them the most effective workout possible. I feel that metabolic workouts give clients more bang for the buck then any other workout.
These workouts can be designed many different ways, but they all have one thing in common and that is a high degree of intensity. Clients that put out the most effort, according to their abilities and the MyZone Moves Heart Rate. Metabolic workouts can be done with Kettle Bells, TRX Suspension Trainer, Battle Ropes, Bands, Bodyweight, and Cardio Machines. These workouts can be used with beginners to elite athletes, just the level of intensity and the amount of resistance used would be different. We can start off each client at a low intensity level, and with each consecutive workout we can gradually bring up the intensity by either increasing the resistance of loads or decreasing the rest period in between exercises or both. Usually within a month or two our clients can complete a non stop circuit with little to no rest in between exercises with a high level of intensity.
Find below a few examples of different metabolic workouts. These workouts when done correctly will put you in a world of hurt, but the results will be worth it.
