METABOLIC TRAINING

designed to enhance your body's energy systems

1 Aerobic system and 2 AnAerobic systems

Aerobic means in the presence of oxygen and anaerobic means without oxygen.

Aerobic Activities are low intensity exercises that are performed for 15 min or more.

EXAMPLES: Biking, Swimming and Jogging.

Anaerobic Activities are moderate to high in intensity.

They are performed anywhere from a few seconds to 2-3 minutes.

Best Example: Sprinting

Involves repetition & increases exertion

EPOC

which means:

(excess post-exercise oxygen consumption)

an elevated state of oxygen consumption after exercise

in an effort to bring the body back to its pre-exercise state.

Moderate jogging, the most common choice for cardio, does not burn enough fat.

Interval training done in a shorter time span, can burn more in 10-15 mins.

Anaerobic training will produce a EPOC effect in the body.

You will also continue to burn after your workout.

This type of training will increase your METABOLISM.

Higher metabolism for a longer period of time = increased fat burning power!

Timed Sets:

1 min of exercise followed by 15 – 30 seconds of rest
