1. The client puts on a mask and heart rate strap. The mask is connected to the CardioCoachCO2™ device via the VO2 hose.
2. The client exercises on a stationary device such as a bicycle, treadmill, or stair stepper. They gradually increase their intensity over a period of 6 to 20 minutes until the CardioCoachCO2™ indicates that the anaerobic threshold (AT) has been detected. At this point, the client may stop exercising and begin a cool down phase.
3. The CardioCoachCO2™ compiles the data, analyzes the results and will print a fitness profile in a simple, insightful report where exercise zones are identified. Data is visible that allows trainers to evaluate each individual client's numbers and truly customize their workout.

RMR Test

1. The client should be seated or reclining, and is encouraged to rest during the test.
2. Client breathes through a disposable mouthpiece (MetaBreather™) that is connected to the CardioCoach CO2™. Make sure the adapter is in place to properly attach the MetaBreather™ hose. A nose clip is used to assure that all air passes through the MetaBreather™.
3. The client continues until the device indicates that RMR has been calculated. This usually takes about 12 minutes. The CardioCoach CO2™ displays the RMR results on the screen and prints out a detailed report in a format that aids client teaching.
