New Physiologic Testing Packages include DXA Scanning!!!
You can receive a DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) body composition OR bone mineral density (BMD) scan with a VO2max and lactate test or a physician supervised stress test. DXA is the gold-standard in body composition and BMD analysis; but DXA machines are difficult to find and expensive. We are the only facility in the San Diego area that offers DXA body composition scanning along with BMD scanning.
Rates are:
- VO2max and Lactate with DXA Body Composition (BC) Scan: $300
- VO2max and Lactate with DXA Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Scan: $350
- VO2max and Lactate with DXA BC and BMD Scan: $400
DXA is a quick, safe, and painless procedure. This procedure is the most accurate and precise measure of an individual's body fat, muscle mass, and bone mass. Measuring body composition helps you track changes in body fat and muscle mass during an exercise training program, weight training program, or weight loss program. Measuring BMD assesses your risk for osteoporosis and is highly associated with bone strength and resistance to fracture.

Tip of the week
If you are experiencing mild depression or anxiety, aerobic workouts such as walking or jogging can significantly improve your mood. Non-aerobic exercise, like weight lifting, can also boost your spirits, improve sleep and appetite, reduce irritability and anger and produce feelings of mastery and accomplishment.

Testimonials
I went on an 18 day tour of China this fall (2005). I climbed over two hundred steep steps which was more than most of the 30 people in our group were able to do, and I felt fine. Without being in this program, I feel sure I would not have ever been able to make the trip, especially since I am 88 years old.
