*To design a METCON these 5 steps below will ensure the correct method is used and results will be achieved:

1. High intensity
2. Rest – included as intervals i.e. 30s rest between each round (dependent on fitness)
3. In 1 round – Upper body exercise, lower body exercise, total body exercise
4. 15- 20 minute maximum
5. Aim to add each exercise with weights to benefit ‘muscular strength’
