Whether
you are looking to loose weight or increase peformance, metabolic
testing can help you reach your goals. Our resting metabolic
rate tests rates your metabolism and gives you a gauge of how
many calories per day that you need to maintain or lose weight.
Our VO2 - anaerobic threshold tests let you know your true heart
rate zones to get the most out of your fat burning ability while
you do your cardio workouts. Runners and cyclists can also take
their sport and racing to the next level by getting heart rate
zones to help with realistic heart rate training goals. Check
out the links below for more info about both tests and call
us at 713-523-2577 if you have questions about testing and how
it can benefit your fitness goals.
