The Metafit™ body weight training system is an effective and simple tool for people looking for the most effective workout that gets big results. To burn fat you need to change the… resting metabolism, work big muscle groups with high intensity intervals and get quick results.

The Metafit™ workout can be taught as a studio class, small group, team training or as a one to one/personal training session. Created by a former Royal Marine Commando and a national gymnast.

Metafit™ combines traditional body weight exercises with the latest interval and Tabata techniques to set the metabolism on fire! No expensive kit required for this workout, keep ahead of the competition and join the Metafit revolution.

WHAT IS METAFIT TRAINING?

The Metafit workout aims to:
– Work major muscle groups functionally.
– Deplete glycogen stores.
– Create a metabolic disturbance.
– Increase Resting Metabolic Rate (Your Resting Metabolic Rate or Basal Metabolic Rate is number of calories your body needs to just exist).
– Increase fat burning.

Resting Metabolic Rate.

– RMR accounts for 65-75% of calories burnt.
– The majority of calories stored as body fat are used at rest.
– Increasing your RMR is the best way to increase your fat burning potential.
– After a metafit workout your RMR will remain elevated for a minimum of 24 hours.

The role of lean muscle in RMR.

– 1 lb of lean muscle requires 50 calories per day to survive.
– Therefore increasing lean muscle mass increases calorie output and metabolism.
– Humans lose 2-4% of their lean muscle mass every 10 years after the age of 25.
– As a result of this loss of muscle the metabolism slows down by 5% every 10 years.

How does metafit increase RMR?

– Maintaining or increasing lean muscle mass.
– Taking advantage of the EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption) effect or in simple terms the afterburn effect.

EPOC: The after burn effect.

– “Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption” is the effect that you get after a workout.
– EPOC is your body returning to a state of rest after physical exertion.
– This effect varies depending on the intensity of the workout.
– High intensity work outs increase EPOC more than any other type of training.

Metafit uses Lean Muscle & EPOC to burn fat!

– Metafit is not performed in the ‘fat burning zone’.
– We are aiming to deplete glycogen stores in the muscles and maximize EPOC to burn fat during recovery.
– You WILL NOT burn fat during your metafit workout.
– You WILL increase your RMR & preserve muscle mass : which as we have seen, is the single most effective way of burning fat.

WHY IS METAFIT DIFFERENT?

– Effective.
– Time efficient.
– Functional.
– No kit required.
– Whole body workout.
– 30 mins.
