Metcon Workouts for Weight Loss for Women Over 40 [Metabolic Conditioning]

Metcon Workouts for Weight Loss for Women Over 40

Metcon, otherwise known as metabolic conditioning, is a style of interval training to optimize your metabolism. It’s sweaty and designed to burn a ton of calories.

In this metcon, I lead you through a full-body, circuit workout using bodyweight and dumbbells.

There is also absolutely no jumping in this workout too. It’s all low impact.

And PS – don’t get freaked out by the time of it. While 55 minutes is a BIG commitment, 10 of those are stretching at the end. So, you could skip those and do them later on in the day if you’re short on time right now.

TOOLS NEEDED

a pair of light, moderate & 1 heavy (I’m using a 30lb kettlebell for this)

THE WORKOUT

Squat clean to press
Overhead reverse lunge
Other leg / arm
Shoulder taps
4x 20sec

Crossover lunge
Other leg
DB swing
3x 50sec

DB hang clean
Shoulder presses
Front squat
Side lunge
Other leg
5 x 20sec
