Get early accessWhat it measures
A clearer baseline.
- Calories burned at rest
- Estimated daily energy needs
- Oxygen consumption
- A personalized metabolic baseline
What to expect
You will relax in a comfortable seated or reclined position, wear a nose clip, and breathe normally through a mouthpiece. The measurement takes approximately 10 minutes. Preparation instructions will be provided before your appointment so the result reflects a true resting state.
Why it matters
Measured resting metabolism replaces a population-based estimate with information specific to your body, creating a stronger foundation for weight management, maintenance, and nutrition planning.
CardioCoach PLUS
Measured, not guessed.
Online calculators estimate metabolism from population averages. CardioCoach PLUS uses indirect calorimetry to measure the oxygen your body consumes while you rest, producing a calorie baseline that belongs to you.
See how many calories your body uses each day to support basic functions before activity is added. Combine measured RMR with your activity level to create a more individualized estimate of daily energy needs. Repeat testing can show how your metabolism responds as body composition, nutrition, activity, or weight changes.
