NEW: VO2 MAX TESTING
In conjunction with Positively Chiropractic, we are very pleased to be able to offer VO2 Max testing at the store on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of May at 3:30 pm through the evening hours. If you’ve never heard of it, VO2 max (also maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake, peak oxygen uptake or aerobic capacity) is the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and utilize oxygen during incremental exercise, which reflects the physical fitness of the individual. The name is derived from V - volume per time, O2 - oxygen, max - maximum.
The results from a V02 max test is a step towards making your metabolism work for YOU! Understanding your metabolism is key for improving your aerobic fitness and getting rid of excess body fat. You will learn the intensity that you most efficiently burn fat, your Aerobic Threshold and also your Lactate Threshold, the highest intensity that you recycle as much lactic acid as you produce, an excellent training intensity for increasing your speed distance.
Too low of an intensity and your metabolism never reaches optimal levels causing your fitness to plateau. Too hard of an intensity and you use primarily carbohydrates, causing you to feel sore and hungry after your workout.
Appointments are available at 3:30, 5:00, and 6:30. The cost is $100 plus $44 for a mask purchase. Please call Positively Chiropractic at 703-642-8685 to schedule an appointment.
