Wow! Was the first thought in my mind when the workout was over. I hadn’t had my heart rate get that high in quite a while! The emoticon used on Metafits’ Instagram page is so on point, you start feeling excited, feel absolutely finished after 1 or 2 rounds and by the cool down you feel on top of the world!

Probably the one aspect, besides cardio effect, that really intrigued me was the fact that a whole other skill set was tested- my functional training ability. How many of you walk into a gym, warm up on the treadmill and lift some weights. Once you are done you head out and feel satisfied. Do you feel like you may be missing something? Sure it is great to lift weights and watch yourself get stronger this way, however it is a whole other ball game when we start to play around with bodyweight exercises and test our abilities that way. You will still be building up some muscle, but with the benefit of allowing some variety and cardiovascular work that will not eat into your gains!

I love that it is unchoreographed, uncomplicated and provides results! In fact the day after training I wanted in again! Give me quick workouts, I absolutely love that and I am sure clients will too. Only 2% of your day;)

So let me quickly bullet point some of the awesome benefits of Metafit workouts:

1- Long workouts have the opposite effect on your body to what you are aiming for- keep it short like Metafit does

2- Working one or two small muscle groups at a time does not create a metabolic burn effect, so ultimately not enough calorie burn – multiple muscle groups worked means more calorie burn and more muscle fibres working to grow

3- Your 6 pack can be revealed with the correct exercise (HIIT) and diet!

4- Ultimately: Short, intense and rewarding

It’s tough, that’s why it works;)
