FIT.Y.E.R.O. (Meathead, wellness, fitness, diet, exercise) Thread

Speaking of cardiovascular health, I checked my whoop readings this morning and they've added a VO2 Max tracking feature and have been apparently tracking mine for the last 6 months without my knowledge. I've shown a 2% increase apparently without really trying and doing nothing but kettlebells, walks, and original strength (similar to yoga).

If you're a whoop user, might be something to check out.
What’s your Vo2 max?
 
What’s your Vo2 max?
69.

Per Whoop, it is currently 42. (No idea how accurate that is). 42 appears to be a pretty good but not excellent number for my age (going on 44). For not having thought about it before this morning, I was pretty pleased.

Now that I know it is already being tracked, I might see how easy it is to increase and play around with doing so as a goal. Seems like getting it above 50 would be a solid number to shoot for.

- Kook, hopefully that's just a little vasovagal action or dehydration. Take care of yourself, I'm really glad you have a cardiologist appointment this week.

- On that front, exactly three weeks out from beating the widowmaker, my husband got clearance from cardiac rehab to lift (!) Cardiologist told him last week that golfing would be fine too and I've never seen a dude so thrilled to hit the simulator. ha.

- I did this conditioning circuit Saturday and I was in PAIN yesterday. Recommend.
4 rounds:
  • 10 lat pulldowns
  • 15 Tate press
  • 30 banded tricep pushdowns
  • 15 hammer curls
  • 20 banded face pulls
You don't need much weight/band tension to make this one hurt. And I did it with a cranky baby doing spinaroonies on his mat on the floor in about 20 minutes, which was clutch af.
