In the last article MRT article we covered why you should be using Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT) as a time-saving training method to get leaner, fitter and stronger.
But, just to remind you about some of the take-home facts about MRT:
✓ MRT is a highly effective form of training, where a circuit of exercises are performed in series using the same form of resistance.
✓ The idea is that you select your form of resistance, whether it be a barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, sandbag and so on, and then you perform around 4-8 exercises back to back with minimal rest in between.
✓ MRT is a great time saver, only taking around 30 minutes per session.
✓ You combine the strengthening and body shaping elements of resistance training, with even more fat burning potential than your typical cardio exercise routine.
✓ MRT can elevate your metabolism for hours, and even days after doing the routine.
✓ There’s no fuss with setting up with all different forms of resistance, you pick one type, you pick one weight, and you get the routine done!
✓ MRT can even be done from home, with an excellent choice of bodyweight workout routines.
✓ It’s very easy to design your own routine, so you’ll never get bored.
