Creating a fitness program that really works can be difficult. Part of the problem is not knowing which exercises your body responds best to. Not everyone’s body responds to exercise the same way. Knowing what you need to do can go a long way to helping you get results. Let’s say you’re looking to build muscle. What do you need to do? Today in the WeDNA blog, we’ll explain how our DNA Fitness Test can help you reach your muscle-building goals.

Glucose Metabolism

Glucose metabolism analyzes how your body breaks down glucose. Glucose is important for your body to use as energy. Understanding your glucose metabolism will help you better understand how well your body regulates and uses energy. You get most of your glucose from carbohydrates, so being familiar with your glucose metabolism will help you understand how you process those, too.

Muscle Growth and Development

Some people have more capacity for muscle growth and development than others. That’s not to say it’s impossible for you to become muscular if your potential isn’t as high. It just means you may need to work harder to achieve greater results. Factors like hormone levels help determine your muscle growth potential.

Muscle Strength

Our DNA Fitness Test includes a calculation of your Body Mass Index (BMI). This information is useful because it gives you a starting point for your fitness regime.  Coupled with the genetic results from your DNA Fitness test, you can begin your exercise program with a solid baseline and realistic expectations about your fitness goals.

Aerobic Capacity

It stands to reason that if you have a low aerobic capacity, you won’t be able to work out for as hard or as long. The greater your aerobic capacity, the more you’ll be able to put into your exercise.
