With Movescount you can remain private or you can form Groups, Example: Costa Mesa 24hr fitness 6-am.  You can virtually compete with any other club in the world, compare, standardized RPT workouts, race by heart rate, by power by weight.  The options are endless.

One thing is for sure, your facility will NEVER be the same.  Take your class, your members, your clients and athletes to the next level and document it.

Now that is Evidence Based Exercise!  is there any other kind?

Indoor Cyclist, Runners , Runners, Rowers, Paddlers:

What is your current state of Fitness? What are your Threshold Training Points?

Here is a Great Workout Challenge!

Here is what you will need:

• On a Indoor Bike with POWER readout, Treadmill with Speed (MPH), indoor Rowing/Paddling with (Kilo Pace)
• Heart Monitor that can be downloaded and analysed or
• iQniter Cardio Training System hooked up and running. The beauty of the iQniter Cardio Training System is you could do this test in a group as large as 72 riders, runners, rowers or paddlers.

Here is the Workout/ Fitness Test:

• Warm Up very good, gradual accelerations relax and repeat increasing intensity each time.
• Stage #1: is a 4- Minute Time Trial (ALL OUT MAX) Run, Ride, Row or Paddle as fast as you and record your average Pace, Speed, or Power. This is your Current Max Capacity or Reference Point. If you truly did your 100% best, we will have seen your Max Heart Rate and we must assume you achieved your Max Vo2.
• Full Recovery, keep moving until you are ready for Stage 2, we want full recovery.
• Stage #2: 4-Minutes as fast as you, as much Power, Speed or Pace as you can produce, but you cannot exceed 70%mhr. Our objective is to discover your 4-Min Max Performance @ 70%mhr-the upper limit of Metabolic-Level #1- Free Fatty Acid Utilization (FFA)
• Full Recovery, keep moving until you are ready for Stage 3, we want full recovery.
• Stage #3: 4-Minutes as fast as you, as much Power, Speed or Pace as you can produce, but you cannot exceed 80%mhr. Our objective is to discover your 4-Min Max Performance @ 80%mhr-the upper limit of Metabolic-Level #2- Aerobic Threshold.
• Full Recovery, keep moving until you are ready for Stage 4, we want full recovery.
• Stage #4: 4-Minutes as fast as you, as much Power, Speed or Pace as you can produce, but you cannot exceed 85%%mhr. Our objective is to discover your 4-Min Max Performance @ 85%mhr-the upper limit of Metabolic-Level #3- Anaerobic Threshold.
• Full Recovery, keep moving until you are ready for Stage 5, we want full recovery.
• Stage #5: 4-Minutes as fast as you, as much Power, Speed or Pace as you can produce, but you cannot exceed 88%mhr. Our objective is to discover your 4-Min Max Performance @ 88%mhr-Metabolic-Level #4- Lactate Threshold.
• Warm- down and Make Sure Your Record your Average Power, Pace or Speed for each Stage!

Remember: Your current fitness comes down to How Much of your Max Vo2 you can access at Sub Maximal Levels. The greater your access to your Max Performance at Metabolic Levels 1-4 the fitter you are!

Examples:

1. 2- Pro Cyclist do the 4-Minute Test, each rider produces an Average Max Wattage output of 500watts! Which one is fitter?
2. 2-Olympic 5,000 meter runners run a 4-Minute Test and each runner produces an Average Speed of 15mph (4-min mile), which one is fitter?

The answer to both questions is the same: 

Everything you ever needed in a Training Program is right here:

Reference Point Calculator, use it to learn the proper training levels to affect your 5-metabolic thresholds.

There is nothing like it.  Many people Over-Train, and Under-Train, very few train properly.

The Result of Over-Training and Under-Training is that you QUIT!  Retention Rates are Horrible in the business of Fitness.

STOP being the victim of this less than informed process.  We are all unique, we are all special and the key to longevity, quality of life and fitness is finding the balance at 5-different waking metabolic levels.  We live at all of them, and we need to Train or Exercise ALL of them in different proportions.

45% FFA

25% Aerobic Threshold

15% Anaerobic Threhold

10% Lactate Threshold

5% NMF Supra Max

Therafit Colorado was one of the First Centers in the USA (2006) to adopt the correct training Methodology and use Reference Point Training (RPT) with Suunto Group Heart Rate Monitoring.
