Why Metabolic Analysis
Scientific metabolic testing is the foundation of Sports Science. This testing lets us see what is happening inside your body during exercise, and at rest. From this data we create accurate heart-rate training zones assuring all your workouts are 100% productivie with no wasted efforts. As exercise intensity increases so does your heart rate. As your heart rate increases your body’s preferred energy source shifts from primarily burning fat to burning carbohydrate. By training in the proper zone you will teach your body to burn more fat and less carbohydrate, lowering lactic acid levels, cortisol, and fatigue. Proper heart rate training replaces random workouts and is essential to optimizing the effort/reward ratio of your training. Only VO2 testing provides the precise exercise heart rate zones you need to improve your performance and health while achieve your ideal body weight.
Nutritional Optimization
Training is only half the battle when it comes to achieving the performance and body you desire. Food is the other.
Just like with your training, a science-based approach to what you put in your body and when you do it has a great effect on your ability to achieve your athletic and health goals. The PHASE IV approach to health and fitness involves guided exercise and an easy-to-follow, “close-to-the- earth” diet. Both are designed for one singular goal: metabolic efficiency—to make you a better butter burner. But where do you start? How DO YOU construct a dietary program that addresses your unique personal physiology, genetics, lifestyle, and metabolism? Our thorough understanding of the intricate synergistic relationship between nourishment, lifestyle, exercise and enhanced metabolic function, will result in a science based program that defines exactly how to fuel your body, and the exact calories you need to fuel your workouts and lifestyle while managing your weight goals. With PHASE IV individualized programs and support, you will achieve your goals and create the body you’ve always wanted!
Weight Management
All PHASE IV Weight managment programs begin with a Resting Metabolic Rate Test or RMR. This is the starting point for all science based nutrition programs designed to achieve optimum health and body weigh. The RMR test measures precisely how many calories your body requires to keep your metabolism revving and burning more calories all day. Consume less than this minimum number of calories and your metabolism becomes sluggish, going into an idle to conserve every calorie you consume and store more fat. With the RMR calculation we will determine the number of calories you need everyday to support your activities and address your weight management goals. These results will be used in conjunction with the necessary nutritional logs and questionnaires to provide a nutrition plan prescription.
