Metabolic Circuit Training

Added it to my fitness repitoire today.

WOW.

THAT is a workout! I know how hard lifting heavy sets can be. But this fast paced, high repetition, little rest way of exercising is equally as taxing, just in a shorter period of time.

I needed to ramp up my activity level. This is how I'll be rolling for the next 6 weeks:

3 days per week - regular strength training
2 days per week - metabolic circuit training
2 days per week - rest

And after 4 weeks have past, I will bump up the MCT to 3 days per week, still leaving one day for rest.

Today, I started with 5 rounds of a 6 exercise circuit, with 90 seconds of rest between each round. Each week I will rest less and eventually add an additional round. Yikes!
