Two Types of Metabolism Assessment: Resting (RMR) & Exercise (VO2max)

There are 2 types of Metabolism Assessment protocols that FRESH! performs for our clients. These are the Resting Metabolism and Exercise Metabolism tests.  Each test provides incredibly valuable information, but not everyone needs to do each test.  The test(s) that are right for you and the order you perform them in will depend on a number of factors.  Our expert team can help you decide on the path that’s best for you.

Here are some of the questions to help you determine which test is right for you:

  • Do you want to lose weight?
  • Do you have nutritional challenges to overcome?
  • Are there lifestyle habits that sabotage your ability to get results?
  • Do you do regular cardiovascular exercise (or do you want to)?
  • Are you training for a specific event?
  • Do you want to experience the benefits of heart rate training?

Answer these questions. The responses will determine the best starting point for you and which tests would be best to perform.
