I got a Polar H9 today, did the test to set it up and it gave me a VO2max of 52. I'm a 41 year old male. This was more exciting news to me than any weight loss goal I had from 500 down to 180, maybe even including when I found out I could get my first 2 skin removal surgeries done. It said 95th percentile for men my age, with the cardiopulmonary health of a mid-20s male. All those years of treadmilling summed up in that one moment. I'm not even at my final stop yet since I have some fine tuning to do after my surgeries.
For anyone else out there, you don't need to run to improve cardio health. I only ever walked until I had my stomach/chest and arms/legs/upper back skin removal surgeries. Just kept upping the elevation and speed to keep pushing myself. Now I'm at 70 minutes a day of 3.8mph, 15% incline(plus 15 min warmup/cooldown), working in some 4.3mph jogging for a few minutes at the end. One step at a time!
