For the first time, the term metabolic conditioning appeared in an article by Arthur Jones in 1975. He defined what is the difference between metcon and HIIT, and why do they matter in your training? metabolic conditioned training as the ability to work with high intensity for a long time.

Engaging in this system, the athlete must move from movement to movement with minimal rest, adhere to a clear pattern of repetitions and maintain good technique.

Metkon simultaneously trains strength and endurance, is distinguished by a short rest time or lack thereof and allows you to pump your body faster than regular strength training.

In addition, in the metronome it is always possible to track your progress: to mark the time or count the number of repetitions and each time to do a little more than in the past, or to compete with friends.
