Workout of the Week: A Second Look at Metabolic Training

Entering week 2 of the Workout of the Week we are taking a second look at the metabolic workout. The warmup and movement prep have been selected to help you prepare for this metabolic block, so be sure to remain focused throughout the warmup.

The focus of the workout is to go through the Metabolic block (Set 1 + Set 2 + Core) without any rest, with only 30 seconds between rounds. You have the choice of either performing 2 or 3 rounds based on your current fitness level.

As always, don't forget to do your flexibility work at the end of the workout to speed up your recovery.

Let us know how your teams do with this workout and feel free to share!
