Metabolic Testing
RMR, VO2 Max &
Anaerobic Threshold
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.

The
A5 Heart Rate Monitor
Most of us that are serious about our
cardio know that a heart rate monitor
is your ticket to getting the most out
of your workout. Our favorite heart rate
monitor is the Polar A5. Great for both
beginner exercisers and experienced runners,
the A5 is easy to use and allow you to
set you upper and lower end training
zone. Another great feature is the workout
recap which tells you how long you remained
in your zone and an estimate of calories
burned.
