Are you looking for a more efficient way to work out and get real results? Do you skip the gym all together because to get anywhere you have to spend hours at the gym? Well if this sounds like you we've got a killer solution for you! Metabolic Effect Workouts AKA ME. When someone first mentioned them to me I actually didn't believe it was possible, but man, wait til you do one. It will kick your A#@.
To start with here's a bit of science.
Metabolic effects workouts are planned high-intensity, total body workouts that makes use of the three energy system (ATP, Glycolytic, and oxidative) designed to boost your metabolism. The three systems are often used during different forms of movements which include slow, medium, and fast.
This article will guide you on how to engage in safe and effective metabolic workouts using functional movements irrespective of your fitness levels. The workout is designed into this format:
10 exercises, 1 minute each, 3 times through.
The first time through you get a 15 second break in between each exercise, the second time 10 second break
and the third time only a 5 second break,
3, 60-second power moves or metabolic finishers to end the workout.
Sounds pretty simple right? We'll during the minute you are exercising it is important you push yourself as hard as you can take until you feel like you HAVE to take a rest! If you are just beginning with this it is very likely you won't be able to do the whole minute And that is OK. You'll quickly work your way up to this.
