Let’s define “metcon” real quick. “Metcon” is a popular term used to describe a workout involving repeated and/or sustained high-intensity exercises, usually involving weight lifting movements, with short rest periods in order to burn fat or create a “conditioning” effect. Most CrossFit workouts are metcons.
To recap:
- Pick simple exercises
- Use full body movements
- Utilize high-intensity, short-duration workouts
- Limit eccentric loading
