- As part of a weight loss program, Colton has been asked to exercise more. Along with a proper diet, he has been asked to burn an extra 250 kcal/day through exercise. Given that the exercise intensity that Colton should work at in order to meet his energy expenditure goal if he only wants to excerise for 40 min/day is going to be 1.25. Given that if Colton's weight is 96 kg, his relative VO2 is 13.02. Colton's "bad knees" prevent him from running on a treadmill, so you decide to prescribe cycling exercise for him.
