Well I had my BMR test on Thursday. They also did my VO2 Max. My RMR came out to 2144 calories per day. So basically it takes 2144 calories each day to keep me alive, this is the base amount of calories I need to survive. The V02 max test told me exactly where my optimal heart rate zone is to burn fat while exercising. My optimal fat burning zone is at 122 beats per minute. So I have pretty much been on target the last 30 days doing cardio at around 130 BPM.
After reviewing my stats and activity level we came up with the number 2350 as my optimal caloric intake each day for around 1.5 to 2 pounds of fat loss per week. And I will vary my cardio from optimal fat burning at 122 to interval training to raise my V02 max to increase my fat burning zone.
Tomorrow I will be posting my first weeks progress. And explain a little detail about my cardio/exercise routine.
where did you go to get all these test done. and also i have a few more questions and i would love to talk to you so if you could pleasepleaseplease email me at [email protected] i would be so happy
