BodyGem Test Preparation

[jdeilerman]

I am getting my RMR tested with the BodyGem device next Saturday. The website says to consume no food, caffeine or engage in activity 4 hours prior to the test. Is there anything else I am missing to prepare for the test? I want my results to be as accurate as possible. I am also wondering if anyone was shocked by their RMR reading. I am a bit scared to find out the results. Hopefully the results will help me get where I want to be.

Basically be at as much rest and ease as possible during the test. The purpose of the test is to rate your breathing at as close to complete rest as possible. The more stimulated you are the less exact the results will be. So be as calm and relaxed as possible and avoid any pre-test or during test excitement.
