1…RELAX. It is important that you be able to reach a resting state during your test. You should avoid activities such as exercise or stressful situations that will prevent you from relaxing for at least two hours prior to your test. Digesting a large meal, as well as taking stimulants, such as caffeine, can raise your metabolic rate and should also be avoided 4 hours prior to your test.
2…SIT. Once you arrive, you will be able to sit comfortably while being tested. Your coach will then place a nose clip on your nose, and you will be given a disposable mouthpiece to breathe through. This mouthpiece is connected to medical equipment by a hose that will measure the air you are breathing out. It is very important that you breathe only through the mouthpiece so this measurement will be correct. Both the mouthpiece and the tubing are sterile items that will be used only for you.
3…BREATHE. Finally, you just sit back and breathe. The system will indicate when it has calculated your metabolic rate. The more relaxed and even your breathing, the quicker it will be able to determine your resting metabolic rate. The test takes approximately 12 minutes and will print out your results when completed.
IT IS JUST THAT EASY!! In just 12 minutes, you can know precisely how many calories your body burns. Stop being compared to charts and averages, and wondering why diets aren’t working. The Resting Metabolic Rate test will take the guess work out of weight management and dieting and put YOU back in control!
