Metabolic Conditioning... Really?!

"Metabolic Conditioning or "metcon" refers to conditioning exercises intended to increase the storage and delivery of energy for any activity."
Sounds easy enough, right? Well it's not. This was part of my workout for today:
Do 5 rounds and only rest as needed (as minimal as possible)
Time yourself so that you can try to beat your previous times

21 Kettle Bell Swings (if not available, use a dumbbell)
21 Pushups (chest to ground, from knees if necessary)
21 Situps (chest to knees)
21 Burpees (includes pushup)
I did about 1.5 rounds and I was exhausted. I was completely out of breathe and wheezing. It's really hard to force myself to keep going as fast as possible. Where's a drill master when I need one?!
