Client Testimonial

"One day in 2007 I was shocked to see I was a flabby, round, middle aged women. I was advised to try training by INFOFIT. My goals were to lose body fat, to build good posture, muscle and strength. In a few short months I went from a slouching person of 159 flabby pounds to a tall standing 146 of pretty lean muscle, losing pounds of fat while gaining pounds of solid muscle.  Today, at age 42, I am leanest and strongest I've ever been in my life. INFOFIT deserves the credit for their effective training and rehabilitation programs, hard work and obvious desire to see me reach whatever goals I set for myself.  I will be happy to talk with anyone about INFOFIT's approach to total body fitness, because nothing has come close to make me feel so good, and proud, about myself."

Optimize Your Weight Loss Potential with

RESTING METABOLIC RATE

Have you ever wondered, "How many calories should I eat?" Or "How can I lose weight without sacrificing my lean muscle mass?" The key to answering these questions is to measure your resting metabolic rate. Your resting metabolic rate is the amount of calories your body is burning to maintain vital body functions. Once this number is known weight management is now a matter of simple arithmetic. An individual can now accurately calculate their unique daily dietary allowance & caloric expenditure which will enable them to lose or gain weight.

Your Resting metabolism is influenced by several factors:

How to Raise Metabolism - Practically & Safely

1. Regular Exercise
   This should be aerobic exercise that makes you breathe more heavily. Exercises that build muscle are helpful as well.
2. Eat Regularly (Especially Breakfast)
   To benefit from the thermal effect of food and ensure your body burns calories willingly, you must eat breakfast and regularly throughout the day.
3. Eat a Balanced Diet
   This will help to maintain a good supply of nutrients which in turn keeps your metabolism working smoothly.

  VO2 SUBMAX TESTING

The term VO2 Max is defined as a person's maximum rate of oxygen consumption. One could compare an individual's VO2 Submax to an Indianapolis 500 racecar driver knowing how his car's efficiency at different speeds. The Cardio Coach measures the volume of oxygen one's body consumes at various levels of intensity. Since there is a direct relationship between oxygen consumption and calories burned the Cardio Coach can determine how many calories are being burned at each intensity level.

What will knowing your SubMax determine?

Understanding Your Workout Zones

Low Intensity Zone: In this zone your body is using only aerobic energy sources. This is best for fat burning. More oxygen is required to burn fat for fuel, your heart and lungs easily provide the needed oxygen for your activity.

Moderate Intensity Zone: As you increase the intensity in this zone your body increases the amount of anaerobic energy needed. Your heart and lungs are more challenged to meet the oxygen demands. You can maintain this level for a long time before becoming fatigued.

High Intensity: In this zone your body is heavily relying on anaerobic energy resources. You will rapidly build an oxygen debt therefore producing lactic acid. You will not be able to maintain this level of exertion for long periods of time.

Peak Intensity Zone: This is your highest intensity level where caloric expenditure is maximal - based on your peak heart rate measured during the test. Effort in this zone will be of a very short duration.
