Resting Metabolic Rate

What is Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)?

Metabolism, quite simply, is the conversion of food to energy.

Metabolic rate is a measure of how much food, or fat, is converted to energy in a day. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the measurement of how much food, or energy, is required to maintain basic body functions such as heartbeat, breathing, and maintenance of body heat while you are in a state of rest. That energy is expressed in calories per day. So an RMR measurement shows how many calories you burn at rest, doing nothing more than sitting in a chair, or resting.

We offer this test to help you determine if your metabolism is slow or fast for your age and weight, and to help you put together the best exercise regimen to help you increase it. This is a key to your success in weight loss. Cost is $35 per test, or two for $60. It is suggested that you test in the beginning of your weight loss or exercise regimen, and then a few months later to see your improvement.  We use the KORR MetaCheck System. http://korr.com

Testing should be scheduled for the mornings, and are most accurate if you have it before eating breakfast or drinking coffee, and of course before working out. Call us now to schedule your test!   Available to members and non members alike.
