Introduction * Bodyweight only training system * 20-30 minute high intensity class * Challenging for all fitness levels * a simple and effective tool for fitness * standalone HIIT workout
Why is metafit different? * effective * time efficient * functional * no kit required * whole body workout * no choreography * 30 mins max
What is Metafit Training? The Metafit workout aims to: * work major muscle groups functionally * deplete glycogen stores * create a metabolic disturbance * increase RMR * increase fat burning All in a 30 minute workout
How do we achieve this? * mobility warm up * a functional, 3D workout * a combination of strength, plyometric and core exercises * incomplete rest periods * periods of maximum exertion
Why do we do this? * work big muscle groups - to burn more calories in a short space of time
* deplete glycogen stores - to create a debt to the body which it has to replenish
* create a metabolic disturbance - the metabolism dictates how many calories we can burn
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 24hours
The role of Lean Muscle in RMR * lean muscle mass generally contributes up to 50% of total body weight in young adults * 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 10years * the loss of muscle mass is typically offset by gains in fat mass and decreases in strength
Lean muscle mass & Metabolism are intrinsically linked
How does metafit increase RMR? * maintaining or increasing lean muscle mass * taking advantage of the EPOC effect
EPOC: The after burn effect * excess post-exercise Oxygen Consumption is the effect that you get after a workout * EPOC is your body... show more
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
The BENEFITS of EPOC After a high intensity work out the body must: * regulate body temperature * return cardiovascular and respiratory systems to rest * replenish glycogen stores in muscles * begin protein synthesis and use hormones to return body to an anabolic state * return body to homeostasis All requiring a huge amount of calories!
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 maximise 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
30 min in the 'fat burning zone' = During : 300kcals Afterburn: less than 150kcals
30min HIIT = During; 300kcals Afterburn: up to 500kcals
Endurance vs High Intensity - Get fitter and healthier faster * improve vo2 max * develop 'work capacity'(i.e the ability to tolerate a high level of intensity for a longer period) * improve insulin sensitivity * boost growth hormones * challenge the fast twitch muscle fibres - the fibres that are great for strength, power and looking good
Why 30mins? * could you do metafit for any longer? * HIIT is short bursts of maximum exertion to failure. if it lasts an hour it is not HIIT * QUALITY NOT QUANTITY * classes that last an hour must be based on endurance & aerobic training show more
Looking for a one on one personal trainer that dosnt charge extra to take kids along. That can motivate and give help with meal planning and excise program for other days
