Body Composition & BMI
Body composition is analyzed by measuring the ratio of your body's fat mass to its fat free mass. This analysis is completed by assessing the thickness of subcutaneous fat at various locations on your body with Cadence's state-of-the-art electro-impedence meter. This process enables us to determine your percentage of fat to your percentage of muscle. When this percentage is determined, we can work with you to either increase or decrease your ratios accordingly, so that you optimize your power to weight ratio and, in the process, find a healthy fat to muscle balance and body weight.

Basal Metabolic Rate
Your Resting Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the rate at which your body burns energy (calories) while at rest. In other words, it is the number of calories your body needs to sustain its basic physiological functions such as breathing, circulating blood, and other biomechanical process that keep you alive. In Cadence's physiology lab, we test you for your BMR to find out precisely what your daily basal caloric requirement is.
Your BMR assists us in helping you reach your health and weight loss goals. Depending on how much you train, ride, or run, you should adjust your daily caloric intake. Monitoring your caloric volume helps us to help you lost those unwanted pounds, get lean, and look and perform your very best.
