New Gene Test Tells You How Effective Your Workout Routine Is

Want to know how much you'll benefit from a regular exercise routine? Well now there's a new genetic test that can predict whether or not you are likely to get aerobic health benefits from exercise. Genetic differences are the reason why some people can lose weight and get fit in a matter of weeks while others need years to receive the same results (if they can get significant results at all!).

The test is sold by a UK company called XRGenomics and all you have to do is send them some cheek skin cells. Within a few weeks they'll send you the results. So you can know whether it's worth it or not to stay on that Zumba, P90X, CrossFit, or Brazil Butt Lift routine!
