What is VO₂max you may have asked! VO₂max is the amount of oxygen your body can efficiently deliver to your working muscles during exercise! 🫁💪

While a great measure of aerobic fitness, one of its greatest strengths is that higher VO₂max levels are strongly linked with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and even age related decline. 🌟

Check out our team in action (with the help of some of our amazing kinesiology students) as they perform a VO₂max assessment on a rower modality!🚣‍♀️🔥

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT: Andi Erben! ✨

Andi has been crushing it with weekly personal training sessions with Sammy, one of our personal trainers and FIT instructors, 2-3x a week for the past 5 months!

After her most recent DXA scan, she’s blown us away by shedding 20lbs of fat and gaining 6lbs of lean muscle since her scan in early January! 🙌🏽

This kind of progress doesn’t happen by accident. With the help of DXA scan technology and a structured training program, Andi was able to track her changes and stay dialed in every step of the way. When you combine smart tools with consistent effort, results follow! Congratulations Andi!

Heading into our last month of Get FIT Fall!
💪🏼🤘🏼
We love seeing our student helpers participate in classes! When you position against the wall, your muscles engage in an isometric contraction, promoting muscle endurance and strength. It's all about time under tension, and the longer you sit, the more your legs and core benefit.

📊 Understanding Exercise Metabolism 🏃‍♀️🔬

Ever wondered what's happening inside your body during exercise? 🤔 This graph breaks it down! 📈

👉 Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER): This measures the balance between oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production during exercise. It tells us what fuel source the cells are using for energy during exercise.

🏃‍♂️ RER = 0.70: Fat as Fuel (Aerobic)
🏃‍♂️ RER = 1.0: Carbs as Fuel(Anaerobic)

🚀 Key Points: ✨ RER 0.85 = Aerobic Base (transition to anaerobic) ✨ RER 1.0 = Anaerobic Threshold (pure anaerobic)

💪 Training Tip: By pushing your Anaerobic Threshold closer to your max heart rate and your Aerobic Base closer to your Anaerobic Threshold, you can boost your cardiorespiratory endurance! 🏋️‍♀️
Knowledge is power, so use this info to supercharge your workouts! 💥💦
