After my first VO2 Max test last April, I wanted to see how my numbers had changed… so I headed to to find out.
Quick breakdown for anyone unfamiliar: the “V” in VO2 Max stands for volume, and O2 stands for oxygen. Your VO2 Max measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. The lab analyzes your oxygen consumption to pinpoint your exact aerobic and anaerobic thresholds and build highly personalized heart rate training zones.
I also did a DEXA scan, which gives you a detailed breakdown of your body composition: bone density, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and more.
Overall, I learned that my aerobic base got stronger, and I can now sustain higher-intensity efforts while still burning primarily fat. Keep watching to see how my scores compare from last year to this year, and which areas I’ll be working on for next time.
All valuable data to have heading into training this summer! 💙🧡
Have you ever tested your VO2 Max? Drop your thoughts below. Thanks for having me!
They were gracious to give me a code, for those interested in trying out the tests:
• GRACE25 — 25% off any VO2 Max test or package that includes a VO2 Max assessment.
• GRACE99 — DEXA scan for $99 (for anyone who only wants a DEXA scan).
