Yesterday in the middle of a high intensity workout I checked my Vo2 max score with the help of ring I’m wearing and here’s what I got.

That 42.5 is high score for my age range >50. When fitted for the age group 30 to 39, my score of 42.5 nearly matches the lower range limit 43 to 52 and fitting in the middle of scores for age group 40 to 49.

Can u pls make me understand what is this vo2?

Vo2 max is ONE single beat biomarker that reflects overall indicator of health. I heard this from renowned health professional Dr. Peter Attia from his podcast. I’ll find his clip explaining about Vo2 max precision and scientific view.

This I got from internet. Pls see.

• What it measures:
  VO2 max quantifies the maximum volume of oxygen your body can use per minute, typically measured in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min).
  
  
• Why it matters:
  A higher VO2 max means your heart and lungs are more efficient at delivering oxygen to your muscles, allowing you to exercise longer and harder.
  
  
• How it's tested:
  VO2 max is typically measured during a graded exercise test (like running on a treadmill or cycling) where the intensity gradually increases until exhaustion.
  
  
• What it tells us:
  VO2 max is a good indicator of overall fitness and aerobic capacity, and it's often used to assess an athlete's performance potential.
  
  
• Benefits of improving VO2 max:
  Improving your VO2 max can lead to better cardiovascular health, reduced risk of heart disease, and improved endurance performance.

See this clip of Dr.Peter Attia. He explains this term scientifically and mathematically for us to comprehend better.

Now.. how to measure this? Is thr any app? Or we have to use smart watch?

Exercise panrapo mobile should be with us. So that it will calculate?? Right?

Fitness band or watch measures it. I measured with my fitness ring that I wear to track my activities - Sleep, steps, heart rates etc. Apple Watch also measures Vo2 max.

I am trying to restart this activity after a while .

For a whole month , the park i was going to for walks and workouts was closed for some cultural festivals .

After it opened , i got caught up in some work related stuffs ...

Today i am going to try again , i usually used to spend 1 hour and 30 minutes in the park walking , running , strength training etc ...

I feel a bit lazy today , but let me try to do some walking for at least an hour ...

Sometimes overcoming laziness can be a bit hard ...

I'm not perfect. I say stupid things sometimes. I laugh when I'm not supposed to. I have scars left by people who did me wrong. I'm a little crazy, and probably won't change. Love me or not. But I make one promise, that if I love you, I do it with a full heart.

Our culture has become hooked on the quick-fix, the life hack, efficiency. Everyone is on the hunt for that simple action algorithm that nets maximum profit with the least amount of effort. There’s no denying this attitude may get you some of the trappings of success, if you’re lucky, but it will not lead to a calloused mind or self-mastery. If you want to master the mind and remove your governor, you’ll have to become addicted to hard work. Because passion and obsession, even talent, are only useful tools if you have the work ethic to back them up.

Everything in life is a mind game! Whenever we get swept under by life’s dramas, large and small, we are forgetting that no matter how bad the pain gets, no matter how harrowing the torture, all bad things end

The Buddha famously said that life is suffering. I’m not a Buddhist, but I know what he meant and so do you. To exist in this world, we must contend with humiliation, broken dreams, sadness, and loss.

We all need small sparks, small accomplishments in our lives to fuel the big ones. Think of your small accomplishments as kindling. When you want a bonfire, you don’t start by lighting a big log. You collect some witch’s hair—a small pile of hay or some dry, dead grass. You light that, and then add small sticks and bigger sticks before you feed your tree stump into the blaze. Because it’s the small sparks, which start small fires, that eventually build enough heat to burn the whole fucking forest down.
