Non-Traditional Anaerobic Training (NTAT)? How It Accelerates Fat Loss & Performance
Ready to Turn Up the Heat on Your Training?
If you’ve been following along with our recent newsletters, you already know how powerful Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT) can be for accelerating fat loss, boosting metabolism, and building real-world strength. MRT is a cornerstone of our Drop 2 Sizes (D2S) program.
Today, we’re shining the spotlight on another key ingredient that helps take results to the next level: Non-Traditional Anaerobic Training (NTAT).
If you enjoy workouts that are fast-paced, challenging, and incredibly effective (the kind that leave you feeling accomplished, not crushed), NTAT might just become your new favourite training style.
What Is Non-Traditional Anaerobic Training?
NTAT moves beyond steady-state cardio and predictable intervals. Instead, it blends strength-based movements, power exercises, and short bursts of high-intensity work to create a potent metabolic stimulus.
When strategically paired with MRT, NTAT helps:
- Elevate calorie burn during and after workouts
- Improve conditioning without sacrificing strength
- Drive visible body composition changes in less time
Here’s what makes NTAT such a powerful addition to D2S.
Why NTAT Works
1. A Smarter Training Philosophy
Rather than relying on long cardio sessions, NTAT uses high-effort intervals anchored in strength and athletic movements. This approach challenges your anaerobic energy systems, creating a metabolic “wake-up call” that helps your body adapt, lean out, and perform better.
Every session is purposeful, efficient, and designed to deliver maximum return on effort.
2. The Right Tools, The Right Intensity
NTAT workouts may include:
- Cardiovascular equipment (bike, rower, ski, etc.)
- Bodyweight movements
- External loads typically ranging from 30–60% of your 1-rep max
The goal isn’t just to go hard—it’s to go hard appropriately. Loads, work-to-rest ratios, and exercise selection are all scaled to the individual, ensuring progress without compromising technique or recovery.
What NTAT Looks Like in Action
Below are two sample NTAT-style circuits similar to what you might experience inside the D2S program.
