WHAT THE FITNESS BUFFS THINK
=
Method™ Certified ; get your test done with any one of these qualified Method™ experts .
Method™ has been very beneficial in how I am choosing to train my body . My training has me doing more power-style workouts , meaning lifting a large amount of weight over a short amount of time . After taking my Method™ Test , I found my most effective way of lifting the most amount of weight , while at the same time not totally exhausting myself . Paying close attention to where my heart rate is before each lift has provided me the strength and stamina to lift heavier . The way I worked out previously , I didn ’ t give myself enough of a break in between lifts , and my weights suffered . But knowing what I do now about my heart rate , I am able to more effectively train without losing stamina .
If you choose deadlifting as your Method™ modality , we monitor your blood lactate levels via the ear rather than the fingertip .

The Method™ Test made total sense to me . As a dietitian , I know that there are different fuels that support exercise performance .
I was impressed with the precise metabolic data that was collected .
Fat and carbohydrates should be the main source of fuel for working out , and Method™ identifies how each person is utilizing these fuels . When HAC decided to bring this tool on board , I was so excited . As a participant in the Method™ testing , I was impressed with the precise metabolic data that was collected . The test indicated when I was burning body fat for fuel and at what point I began to burn carbohydrates . I now tailor my workouts around this information because it allows me to utilize my fuels more efficiently .
The key in managing a workout is to use fuel sources appropriately to enhance exercise performance , spare muscle mass , and maintain desirable body weight . The Method™ CRA test allows the dietitian and personal trainers to individualize each member ’ s exercise program , resulting in optimum metabolic and exercise performances .
