VO2 Max Test
VO2 max is the ULTIMATE indicator of cardiovascular fitness.
In the past VO2 testing has only been available at hospitals and universities. But now CardioCoach brings this technology to your gym!
Get the most out of your workout.
Each person has an optimal training zone-sometimes called target heart rate. Charts you see on exercise equipment and wall showing target heart rates are actually just averages based on age and weight. The CardioCoach measures your precise target heart rate based on anaerobic threshold, then calculates your unique Target Intensity Zones. These Zones give you the precise heart rates necessary to optimize each level of exercise and maximize your results. With Target Intensity Zones, you’ll workout smarter, not harder!
Decrease Fatigue and Injury.
Frequently we push ourselves thinking, “no pain, no gain.” The truth is, pushing beyond one’s optimal training zone leads to fatigue and discomfort. It will also cause increased soreness after the workout and may contribute to exercise related injury. When you know your zones and use them for training, cardiovascular exercise is comfortable. Even a beginner can go the distance!
How Is a VO2 Test Performed?
1. Put on heart rate strap and disposable face mask. The mask is connected to the CardioCoach device.
2. Begin to exercise on a stationary device such as a treadmill, cycle, or stairstepper. Your trainer will instruct you to gradually increase your intensity over a period of 6 to 20 minutes.
3. The CardioCoach will indicate when the test is completed. You can cool down while your Target Intensity Zones are calculated and printed in a simple, insightful report. For a sample of the VO2 Target Intensity Report click here.
What are Target Intensity Zones?
Exercising at different levels of intensity will meet different fitness goals. Some intensities burn more fat, some increase endurance, and some focus on strengthening your heart. Target Intensity Zones pinpoint your specific target heart rates required for you to exercise at each level.
Burn More Fat!
VO2 testing reveals the 3 exercise levels that will optimize a person’s ability to burn fat. The term "aerobic exercise" has been commonly used in relation to burning fat.But without VO2 testing, fitness professionals have had to rely on crude estimates to determine what level of exercise intensity would be "aerobic" or fat burning.

In Kettlebell training muscle groups are not isolated as with dumbells. Instead, almost every kettlebell exercise engages literally hundreds of muscles at once. Exercises are not confined to a single, two-dimensional plane. Instead, kettlebell exercises employ all three planes of motion simultaneously, which results in a well-toned, well-balanced body that represents functional strength without bulky size.
