Holiday Belly-Busting Met Con

If you’re like many people perhaps you’ve over indulged a little bit this holiday season.  Too many great meals and even greater desserts maybe?  Well here’s a quick metabolic conditioning workout to help you out.  The great thing about metabolic conditioning workouts is that, unlike traditional aerobics, they stoke the fat burning furnace and keep it burning for hours after your workout is completed.

Today’s holiday belly-busting met con workout consists of the following:

  • 5 KB Snatches each arm
  • 10 KB Swings
  • 10 KB Goblet Squats

If you don’t have access to a kettllebell, feel free to substitute a dumbbell.

Perform 5 rounds.  Rest 30 to 60 seconds between rounds depending on your level of conditioning.  If you want an even greater challenge, set the timer for 10 minutes and perform as many rounds as possible, nonstop.

Drop me a comment below and let me know how you did!

    I’m going to give that a try, since I’ve been eating those same cookies you were referring to!
