From a fat-burning standpoint, Metabolic Conditioning (MET-CON) can’t be beat. That’s because Metabolic Conditioning not only optimizes fat burning during the exercise session, it also keeps our metabolisms elevated long after the workout has ended for up to 24 hours.
This “after burn” effect is known as EPOC, or Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption. Put simply, after we’ve exercised in high-intensity Metabolic Conditioning mode, our body uses up much more energy (calories) than steady-state, traditional exercise to return the body to its resting state. There’s a lot of calorie burning involved in post Met-Con processes like replenishing depleted energy stories, repairing cellular damage, and enhancing the growth of new tissue.
That’s a very good thing, because the more calories we expend, the more fat we burn.
Now luckily for you, Figura S&C runs a MET-CON class every Wednesday (6.00pm) and Friday (6.30pm). Come along; get fit and keep burning fat for up to 24hours at the popular MET-CON session!
