Just a clarifying point - are you offering all three as a combo package for the $120?

Yes all 3 for $120. The mask alone cost me $45. Resting, VO2 bike, VO2 Run

This has to be done over 2 days. We can do a resting and one exercise on the same day. We would then have to do the other exercise on a different day.

Are you set up to do VO2 power on the bike or just HR?

Right now we are just doing HR.

We do have a computrainer, however we are getting a little feedback from it that is affecting the HR data. We are working on cleaning that up.

Just a quick FYI in the VO2 test. There are some equations out there to determine aerobic training zones.

The Maffetone formula is:

180-age = Maximum Aerobic Heart Rate

-10 if recovering from illness

-5 if you have not been exercising

as if if exercising 4x wk

+ 5 if you have been training for 2 yrs.

So if I am 40. 180-40 = 140 the add 5 since I have been exercising. Some to develop my aerobic zone I would train at a HR of 135-145.

So far in the testing we have done here that formula is pretty close 80% of the time.

However when I did the test, I had a LT of 135 and my aerobic zone came out to be 107- 118 and the max my HR we to was 152. (I was standing and really pushing it on the spin bike with resistance)

My point is, the formula does not work for everyone. If I were to training at 135-145, that would be WAY above my aerobic zone. In fact that is my LT training and is totally anaerobic.

If you do not do a VO2 use that formula above. But if you feel that is too hard, you might want to get a VO2 done.
