New Leaf Resting or Exercise Metabolic Test or Re-test ($125 value) to determine number of calories you burn a day OR how to re-train metabolism during exercise to be more efficient

New Leaf Metabolic Testing
It is now possible to measure your metabolism in a health club setting by performing an exercise and resting assessment. The New Leaf Metabolic Testing technology is the most accurate means of determining your fitness level and your rate of caloric burn and until recently it was only done in a hospital setting. The test is so precise that it is used to determine if someone can get on the heart transplant list. The New Leaf assessments are the key to developing an individualized program to help you meet your weight loss, fitness improvement, or athletic performance goals. A Resting Metabolic Test and an Exercise Metabolic Test.* These tests yield metabolic numbers which will guide your trainer (who performs the test) as he/she creates a personalized physical activity program for you – to optimize the burning of calories during your workouts as well as improve your overall fitness. Knowing the results of this test, and using the program specially designed for you, will bring your body to its best physical fitness condition.

What you will learn:

• How many calories your body really needs

• Your heart rate zones for optimal fat burning and endurance training

• Your current fitness level

• How to lose weight by understanding your metabolism and what you can do to trim off inches and pounds

• The correct frequency, duration and intensity of workouts needed to attain your goals

• Principals of sound nutrition and diet

Heart Rate Monitors are available for purchase with our New Leaf Metabolic Assessment Kits so that you can train in your ideal zones while you exercise. By training at the correct intensity, you will optimize the effectiveness of every minute of your workout.

*The Resting Metabolic Test requires an 8-12 hour fast with no alcohol, cigarettes, stimulants, and excessive exercise during that time. The Exercise Metabolic Test requires all the same except the fast is 1-3 hours. For you to receive the best possible results from the tests, you will plan on testing on 2 separate days.
