What Is Metabolic Conditioning?

Metabolic conditioning (met-con) is a cornerstone of CrossFit, designed to optimize your body’s ability to store, deliver, and use energy efficiently across varying intensities and durations. By targeting all three energy systems, met-cons boost energy efficiency, enhance fitness, support heart and lung health, promote fat loss while preserving muscle, and prepare you for real-world physical demands. Best of all, CrossFit-style met-cons build exceptional endurance without the need for traditional endurance training.
