Today’s workout is a Metabolic Circuit using the TRX, Kettlebell and Med Ball. I think it is important to diversify your training as much as possible by using different types of equipment in order to shock your body into strength and muscle growth while continuing to burn fat.
Using new pieces of equipment can also expose weaknesses you may have in your body, that force you to improve better yourself. It is also a great way to smash through plateaus and keep things fresh
This was a tough circuit for me as I have not been able to use suspension training as much as I would like so a lot of my weaknesses were exposed throughout this session which left me sore as hell for a couple of days.
Throughout the circuit you are going to work your explosive power, muscular endurance, core, oblique and abs strength, stability, balance, cardio and mental toughness.
Because this is a Metabolic Circuit, after you are done, you will still be burning fat 24-36 hours later.

Benefits of This Metabolic Fusion Circuit
Below I am going to briefly touch on the benefits of using the equipment in this workout and if you have access, then you should learn and incorporate them into your training.
TRX Suspension TrainerWhether it’s the TRX, SBT, Jungle Gym XT or any suspension equipment, this is an incredible device to help with stability, balance, muscular endurance, explosion and core training.
There is a bit of a learning curve using the TRX and because you are suspended in the air for most of the exercises, it stimulates and fires up muscles that you probably didn’t even think you had.
KettlebellThis is one piece of equipment everyone in the world should own and have in their toolbox. The benefits run deep when using kettlebells and to this day it was responsible for the biggest body transformation of my life.
With one kettlebell you can use dynamic movements increase your explosive power, cardio, muscular endurance, core and grip strength. Because the kettlebells weight is offset, just by holding it in your hand you target the smaller stability muscles that help you build strength faster.
Medicine BallAdding the medicine ball to your training is an excellent way to help you develop strength, coordination, balance, power and core stability.
The ball can also help to develop your rotational core strength and obliques.
