When you’re playing with the best of the best, performance tools aren’t optional if you want to stay in the game. Tools for training, tracking, and even eating (your new secret weapon?!) can give you an edge:

Tool #1: Workout Program
Your metabolic assessment makes it possible to create a training program that’s specific to your end goal and optimized to your individual metabolic markers. Whether you need to periodize your cardio, train your base in the off-season, or avoid overtraining as you head into your championship moment, your New Leaf assessment defines your profile and defines the ideal workout program to achieve your performance goals.

Tool #2: Monitoring
A handful of variables must come together at the right time in the right way to tap the best your body can deliver. Measuring and tracking those variables in your workout gives you a systematic way to evaluate your training progress. Power, speed, and agility all tie together to create ultimate performance, and all are worthy of being tracked and monitored. Another key indicator? Heart rate. Strap on a monitor and track your tach. You’ll never look at your workout program the same way again.

Tool #3: Nutrition
In the midst of measuring heart rate, VO2, and numerous other performance factors, it can be easy to miss what’s right in front of you. So, what’s on your plate? New Leaf’s online nutrition tracking and training tool ENERGYsmart uses your individual metabolic assessment results to suggest menus, grocery lists, and recipes that will help you achieve ultimate athletic performance. Crafted by registered dietitians, the site tracks calories, vitamins, and minerals as part of its dietary analysis. The info, stored securely, can be easily shared with your coach or nutritionist so your next conversation about eating the ideal amount and kind of foods can be a truly meaningful part of your training program.
