If you are training to improve fitness purely for health reasons the HumanLab metabolic assessment will maximise your training time and prevent you from training ineffectively.

The assessment tells you all about your aerobic base, how wide and efficient it is. The wider and more efficient the base, the more energy you will have. The assessment will tell you the exact heart rates you are most effective at burning fat as an energy source, the point at which you no longer effectively burn fat and start to burn a greater amount of calories from sugar.The amount of calories you can consume each day without gaining weight.

With the results of the assessment we are able to prescribe exercise that will effectively burn fat and at the same time train the body to burn fat more effectively not only during exercise but also as you go about your daily business and at rest. Whilst weight loss may not be a goal, the ability to burn fat more effectively both during exercise and at rest is a good indicator of a healthy functioning body.

With a strong aerobic base not only will you have more energy you will be less stressed, suffer with less illness and suffer with the symptoms found from over training.

The trouble with many exercisers is that they train at too high an intensity to allow the body to improve aerobically, and are actually putting the body under stress. Anaerobic exercise trains the body to burn glucose as its primary source of fuel, and just as we can train the body to utilize fat as the preferred energy source at rest, excessive anaerobic exercise will train the body to utilize glucose at rest.

The brain is the only organ in your body that relies exclusively on glucose for energy. If the body prefers glucose to fat, the brain will continually run short on fuel. This will cause mood and energy level fluctuations as well as sugar cravings. This will also affect concentration levels and alertness.

It is possible to be
Fit and unhealthy
But it’s not possible to be
Healthy and unfit
