When
you’re playing with the best of the best, performance tools aren’t
optional if you want to stay in the game. Tools for training, tracking,
and even eating (your new secret weapon?!) can give you an edge:
Tool #1: Workout Program
Your metabolic assessment (Metabolic Profile & RMR) makes it possible to create a training
plan (6 or 12 week) that’s specific to your end goal and optimized to your
individual metabolic markers. Whether you need to periodize your
cardio, train your base in the off-season, or avoid overtraining as you
head into your championship moment, your metabolic assessment defines
your profile and defines the ideal workout program to achieve your
performance goals.
Tool #2: Monitoring
A handful of variables must come together at the right time in the
right way to tap the best your body can deliver. Measuring and tracking
those variables in your workout gives you a systematic way to evaluate
your training progress. Power, speed, and agility all tie together to
create ultimate performance, and all are worthy of being tracked and
monitored. Another key indicator? Heart rate. Strap on a monitor and you’ll never look at your workout program the same way
again.
Tool #3: Nutrition
In
the midst of measuring heart rate, VO2, and numerous other performance
factors, it can be easy to miss what’s right in front of you. So,
what’s on your plate? The EnergySmart nutrition tracking and training
tool uses your individual metabolic assessment results to
suggest menus, grocery lists, and recipes that will help you achieve
ultimate athletic performance. Crafted by registered dietitians, the
site tracks calories, vitamins, and minerals as part of its dietary
analysis. The info, stored securely, can be easily shared with your
coach or nutritionist so your next conversation about eating the ideal
amount and kind of foods can be a truly meaningful part of your
training program.
