Skip the nonstop cardio sessions and lift weight to lose weight with metabolic resistance training. This program, developed by expert trainer Alwyn Cosgrove, CSCS, co-owner of Results Fitness in Newhall, Calif., and coauthor of The New Rules of Lifting for Life (Avery, 2012), uses challenging weights in a circuit-style workout. Keep your weights heavy and your rest periods short, and you’ll soon turn your metabolism into a fat-burning furnace.

I did this for 2 months last year and got the best result ever l lost 20# and got some nice muscle tone. Boy the Cosgrove know their stuff
MRT workouts are indeed awesome for a few reasons:
1. They save you a lot of time because your workouts are shorter.
2. You get a bit metabolic boost from them.
3. You burn a lot of calories, much more than with other training methods.
All in all, this is THE way to train.
