Meta­bolic Con­di­tion­ing Workout

Sorry I haven’t been post­ing as of late. Not only do I main­tain this site, but I have a graphic design busi­ness, too. Been absolutely swamped lately, which of course, is a good thing. Just not good for blog post­ing! I have been work­ing out, I just haven’t been able to post my results. I hope to catch up now that things are return­ing back to nor­mal on the design front.

Today, just as in the First Block, I am using the Tac­fit Com­mando met­con work­out. “Met­con” stands for “Meta­bolic Con­di­tion­ing.” There are sev­eral Tac­fit Com­mando lev­els. I am still on the Recruit level, which is the begin­ner level. Once this block is over, I’ll advance to the next level. A meta­bolic con­di­tion­ing work­out can be defined as a cir­cuit (cir­cuit train­ing) of six exer­cises in this instance, timed for short inter­vals where you give it your all to try to reach your ana­bolic thresh­old. In other words, you go to you’re gassed! Tac­fit Com­mando is loosely based on the Tabata Pro­to­col. You go all out for 20 sec­onds, rest for 10, repeat 7 more times… for each exer­cise in the cir­cuit! Yep, it’s tough. But once you get into it, it’s also kind of fun in a sadis­tic way! Read more
