Mets

[Art Geddes]

No, this is not a baseball question. I recently got copies of all my echos for the last 10 years and on the exercise echo's they refer to METS levels. Does anyone know what they are and what are considered appropriate levels? I notice my levels are decreasing over the years but don't know whaaat that means.
Thanks,
Art
