In simple terms, metabolic conditioning training refers to

structured pattern of work with rest periods in between to get the desired results from the body.

Usually, the desired result is maximizing efficiency of a specific energy system.

G.T.Anderson and R.E.Moran from the University of Leeds, England are credited with developing

this program in 1957. This is also known as a kind of interval training aimed at metabolic

conditioning and designed for improving the storage as well as delivery of energy by

activating the metabolic systems in the body. Studies have also shown that this kind of high

intensity training can enhance aerobic fitness similar to cardio sessions and enhance muscular

endurance while increasing metabolism more compared to what cardio can do on its own.

Although metabolic conditioning exercises may sound pretty

intense, it can be pretty simple in effect. It is just about 3 rounds consisting of 10 moves

followed by another 3 bonus moves to deliver the metabolic boost. In terms of equipment, you just

need a set of weight dumbbells (medium) with your choosing a weight that is challenging but

still helpful in maintaining proper form. However, metabolic circuit workout is not recommended

for beginners or those who stayed away from workouts for long.

In the context of weight loss training, metabolic

conditioning is a departure from traditional fitness rules and integrates complete weight training and

cardio into a single workout. This training can be used in many ways and weight loss is only

one of the goals.

Each exercise should be completed on back to back basis

without any rest in between the exercises.

 1) Each circuit is comprised of 3 exercises and 2 minutes

rest is allowed between every circuit

 2)Complete three rounds of advanced or intermediate circuit

when you finish your workout or 4 to 5 rounds as a standalone workout

In the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research

researchers have concluded that metabolic conditioning workout needs be based on desired

goals and the individual’s fitness levels. 

According to studies at the Baylor University and The Cooper

Institute, metabolic circuit workout provides a very time efficient means of enhancing

cardiovascular fitness as well as muscle endurance. Studies have also shown that metabolic

workout for women helps in achieving their desired goals and also maintain them for

longer periods compared to diet or other types of exercises.
