MeasuredThe 8 Week Reset

Know your numbers. Build the plan on them. Start January 8 weeks ahead.

You're not lazy. You're guessing.

You train. You eat pretty well. And you still don't really know if it's working.

So you guess. You pick a calorie number from an app. You train at whatever pace feels hard enough. Some weeks the scales move, some weeks they don't, and you can't say why.

Then December arrives, it all slides, and January is another fresh start from the same place as last year.

That isn't a motivation problem. Nobody has ever measured what your body actually needs.

Why guessing fails

Calculators estimate. A test measures.

Apps work out your calories from your height, weight and age. They can't see your body. Here are eight real resting metabolism tests I've run, each compared with what the average for that person's age, weight, height and sex says they should burn.

Eight real tests. Not one lands on the average.

Measured resting metabolism against the predicted average for that person's age, weight, height and sex. Eight different clients, names removed.

Two of these clients weigh exactly the same, 103 kg. One burns 1,769 calories a day at rest and the other 1,920. Same app, same number on the scales, different body.

One client, two tests

What a retest shows

Same client, tested five months apart. She lost 27 kg, and her resting metabolism went up, not down.

April1,367kcal a day at rest137 kg · 30% slower than average · resting heart rate 85
September1,771kcal a day at rest110 kg · 1% faster than average · resting heart rate 66
First metabolic report: 1,367 calories a day at rest, 30 percent slower than average, at 137 kg
Second metabolic report five months later: 1,771 calories a day at rest, 1 percent faster than average, at 110 kg

Her real reports with personal details removed. Without the retest she'd still be eating to a number that was five months out of date.

The two tests

Which test is for you

Client lying down during a resting metabolic rate test, breathing through the mask

Goal: fat loss

RMR test

Measures what you burn at rest. You lie down and breathe through a mask for around 20 minutes. Your calories are then built on a real number.

Client on the treadmill during a VO2 max test at Kin3tic

Goal: performance

VO2 max test

Measures your aerobic fitness and the heart rates where your body changes gear. Your training zones are then built on a real number.

Not sure? Tell me your goal and I'll tell you which one. You pick when you sign up.

Real tests, real people

The outcome

What changes in 8 weeks

  • A baseline you can see, measured, not estimated
  • A nutrition and training plan built on that baseline
  • Weekly check ins, with your plan adjusted as you go
  • A retest at the end that shows exactly what moved
  • A clear next step for January

I won't promise you a number on the scales. I will show you your numbers before and after.

You finish on 30 December knowing exactly what changed.

Your coach

I train on my own numbers too

I'm Cam, a performance coach in Lincoln with a Sports Science degree from Northumbria University. I run RMR and VO2 max tests every week with my own metabolic analyser, and I coach everyone from people starting their fat loss to runners, Hyrox athletes and professional athletes.

63.9to71.4

My own VO2 max in ml/kg/min, tested in April and again in September. That's what training to measured zones did for me, and it's the same process you'll follow.

Cam's most recent graded exercise test report showing a VO2 max of 71.4
September: 71.4

Is this for you?

It is if

  • You want real data, not another guess
  • You want structure and someone checking in every week
  • You'll do the retest and want to see what changed

It isn't if

  • You want a quick fix
  • You won't follow a plan for 8 weeks
  • You don't want to check in each week

Your questions answered

What happens in a test?

For RMR you rest, breathing through a mask for around 20 minutes. No exercise. You arrive fasted and I explain your results straight after. For VO2 max you wear the same mask while you exercise, building up gradually until you're working hard.

Can I do this if I'm not fit?

Yes. The RMR test is done lying down, and your plan is built around where you are now, not where you think you should be.

How does online coaching work?

Your training plan, nutrition targets and weekly check in all live in my coaching app. Each week I review your check in, send you feedback and adjust the plan. You can message me directly throughout.

What if I can't get to Kin3tic?

Tier 1 is fully online with no test, so you can do it from anywhere.

What happens after 8 weeks?

We go through your before and after together and map out your next step. No pressure either way.
