Coming to NBK on November 6th – DEXA Scans, RMR, & VO2max testing

NBK is happy to host Dexa Body on November 6th to provide our community with these tests. Each test provides great insight into our bodies and well worth the time.
DEXA Scan will identify body fat composition levels, visceral fat (the dangerous kind), bone density, and help identify any imbalances. Recommended every couple of months to monitor health and progress.
RMR – Resting Metabolic Rate testing is the test to determine the proper amount of calories your body requires. This is the best way to know how many calories you should eat period – gain weight, lose weight, eat healthy are all made clear here on this test. Highly recommended at least annually.
The test must be done early in the day (as there are restrictions on what you can consume  / do before the test).
VO2Max testing will identify your aerobic threshold and maximum threshold of your body to consume oxygen. This will help you identify and train against these levels in your training – great for endurance athletes, runners, obstacle course athletes, and definitely CrossFit athletes
Registration is open to the entire Historic Roswell Community, but please do so soon to secure your preferred times

WOD – “Ballin’ on a Budget”

4 rounds for time
10 Toes to Bar
10 Front Squats (115/75)
Rest 2 mins

4 Rounds for time
10 Pull ups
10 wall balls (20/14)
Rest 2 mins

100 cal row

WOD Brief

Go quickly … the goal is to go so hard in each block of 4 rounds that you question your sanity in the 3rd round, and press forward. If you finish the 4 rounds and don’t feel like you went 100% reevaluate your approach, and correct for the second part. You learn your capacity through testing and adapting, so push the edges. If you find yourself resting and taking small sets in round 2, perhaps we went too hard and the barbell is too much.

If you find yourself struggling with metering your intensity correctly, take advantage of our endurance classes and try mini-practice rounds to get a sense of the stimulus. Have fun, experiment, and let’s do this one!
