Why Metabolic Analysis?
Scientific metabolic testing is the foundation of SPORT SCIENCE AND NUTRITIONAL OPTIMIZATION. This testing lets us to see what is happening inside your body during exercise. From this data we create accurate heart-rate training zones assuring all your workouts are100% productivity with no wasted efforts. We find your “Optimal Fat Burning Exercise Heart Rate Zone” which is the starting point for all science based exercise programs. By training in the proper zone you will teach your body to burn more fat and less carbohydrate which allows you to run a faster pace with lower lactic acid levels and less fatigue. Proper heart rate training replaces random workouts and is essential to optimizing the effort/reward ratio of your training. Only metabolic testing provides the precise exercise heart rate zones you need to improve your performance and health while achieve your ideal body weight.
