"I have a slow metabolism..."
No, you don't
You don't exercise
You don't move/walk around
Instead, you sit around and barely do anything
You don't have a slow metabolism, you just don't expend any energy
As I can't test anyone else at the moment, I did myself instead! 🙌 Last weekend I conducted a VO₂ max test. Lockdown hasn't been kind to my CV fitness but the results serve as a great benchmark & motivator for training moving forward.
For more information on VO₂Max testing & other Physiology tests available via Extrafit, view here: extrafit.co.uk/performance/e….
Whilst the government lockdown restrictions continue, we can't currently conduct any Lactate Profile & VO₂Max tests but we're happy to take details for people who would like to register their interest for tests in the future! Just tweet us! #ExtraFit #PhysiologyTesting
We helped this #triathlete shave 16 mins off his PB! 🤩 How? By conducting a VO₂Max & lactate profile! The results provided Phil of @itricoaching with info on optimised heart rate zones, pace &/or power outputs, (VO₂Max & HRMax), allowing him to create perfect training plans!🙌
As any #triathlete will know, the ability to perform both basic & not-so-basic maintenance on your bike is crucial, as is having the right tools to conduct it!

"We all have dreams. In order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort." ~ Jesse Owens.
Taught to run as if the track were on fire, and letting his feet spend as little time as possible on the ground, Jesse Owens was without doubt an amazing athlete and one of our personal heroes. 🙌 #BeInspired #ExtraFit #HealthIsWealth #MondayMotivation
