This exquisite piece of equipment is more than what meets the eye.

The method of btone Fitness and the arkeTONE are based on many scientific facts.

One of the most scientific pieces of this workout is the EPOC Effect.

EPOC = Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption

It's a delicious mouthful. We won’t put you to sleep with the dissertation, but we will give you the quick-n-dirty cliffs-notes version.

One of the best EPOC analogies compares the EPOC effect to that of multi-hour car ride/road trip. Long after you turn the ignition off, your car will still be warm to the touch.

The same thing happens when you work out at btone.

Long after your 45 minutes is up, your body's metabolism is revved up. Causing your body to continue to burn calories long after your workout is done.

Can I get an AMEN?!!

"CIRCUIT TRAINING AND HEAVY RESISTANCE TRAINING WITH SHORT REST INTERVALS REQUIRE ATP FROM THE ANAEROBIC PATHWAYS, LEADING TO A SIGNIFICANT EPOC EFFECT." [1]

The btone arkeTONE effectively trains the body and achieves this effect in a safe, low impact manner. Achieving this EPOC effect has nothing to do with the duration of your workout, and everything to do with the intensity of your workout.

Recent research has shown that resistance training can provide a greater EPOC effect than running at a steady speed.

One study found that when aerobic cycling (40 minutes at 80 percent Max HR), circuit weight training (4 sets/8 exercises/15 reps at 50 percent 1-RM) and heavy resistance exercise (3 sets/8 exercises at 80-90 percent 1-RM to exhaustion) were compared, heavy resistance exercise produced the biggest EPOC.
