Let a Charleston Personal Fitness Trainer Put the PERSONAL Back into YOUR Charleston Personal Training Program
By Kyle Radaker, M.S.
Are you interested in an effective Charleston weight loss strategy with increased overall health and wellness? Or maybe you’re an elite minded Charleston athlete interested in improved performance? In either case, how can you “truly” evaluate your Charleston Personal Training program? Is it a question of proper Charleston Personal training and/or Charleston nutrition?
Certainly you don’t still abide by the “no pain-no gain” approach?! And by now you’ve learned that a calorie restrictive “diet” won’t work. For the general Charleston exercise enthusiast as well as the elite minded Charleston athlete, is it possible your approach is actually counter productive to your specific goal-the answer is an alarming YES!
What we need to do is get back to basics. Understand that Charleston exercise is a way to introduce “stress” to your body. If the level of stress you introduce is at an intensity level beyond your physiological capability, your body will interpret the need to adapt. However, in order to adapt, your body needs the proper amount of rest and Charleston nutrition. In order to tip the equation of stress, rest and Charleston nutrition in our favor, we need to learn just exactly what level of each will result in the adaptation(s) we desire. This process in quantified through a process of “metabolic profiling.”
Charleston Metabolic Profiling with RMR (resting metabolc rate) and VO2 max/sub max test
The common denominator is energy. All plants and animals (including humans!) depend on energy to sustain life. The main source of all energy is the sun. Sun light radiates energy and plants absorb, convert and store energy such that when we eat the plants (and the animals that eat the plants) we derive the energy necessary to move, work, and exercise. The key concept as it pertains to Charleston health, Charleston fitness and Charleston performance is learning how to balance the amount of energy coming “in” with the amount of energy going “out.”
Energy in biological systems is commonly referred to and measured in calories and obtained from the basic macronutrients in food stuff-specifically, carbohydrate, fat and protein. So in order to know specifically how to determine the amount of energy (calories) one should “take in” (consume), they would need to first determine the amount of energy (calories) they “put out” (expenditure). And at varying levels of Charleston exercise intensity, your body uses “fuel” from varying energy systems within your body. This is a quantifiable process and is unique to each and every individual-your Charleston “personal” metabolic profile.
Charleston's original Metabolic Profile Assessment
A Charleston Metabolic Profile Assessment is as easy to perform as breathing! VO2 (volume of oxygen consumed) is the rate of oxygen uptake, or consumption, by our bodies measured at rest (RMR) and/or during exercise (Graded Exercise Test) and answers the question of how many calories we burn.
Measurement of Charleston VO2 will also provide a true assessment of Charleston fitness level. A VO2 test will also show the anaerobic threshold. Knowing the unique Charleston anaerobic threshold can be used to design a Charleston workout plan that will improve Charleston fitness, train your specific energy systems and maximize calories burned. A Charleston Metabolic Profile Assessment will provide the data that is vital to proper Charleston fitness training. In addition, a Charleston Metabolic Profile Assessment will measure how many calories are burned during a workout at every Charleston exercise heart rate level. This information, along with a heart rate monitor, or a heart rate equipped bike or treadmill, can be used to calculate the precise amount of calories, and the type of calories, burned during a workout.
