Today I'm going to talk about one of the best measurements for longevity.

I mean, I'm constantly trying to find out what can I personally do to live longer.

And one of the best tests that you can get done is called VO2 Max.

Okay, so that's what I'm going to talk about today.

I'm also going to talk about how to increase this VO2 max.

First of all, what is VO2 max? Well, it's the volume of

oxygen or capacity of oxygen your body can consume for a certain amount of time. And it's measured

in milliliters per kilogram per minute. And it is one of the best tests for aerobic capacity or

aerobic fitness

and the capacity of consuming oxygen.

And it's a test that you can get from certain doctors that specialize in sports medicine.

And so if we look at the values of this VO2 max, we have three categories like sedentary, active, and very active.

If we look at these three categories, for men, an average V-O-2 max for someone who's sedentary

would be roughly about 35 to 40.

And then when you go up to active, it goes like roughly on average 42.5 to 46.4. And then if you're really active, right,

you're a super athlete, it can go up to like 75 or 85. And then for a woman, it's a little bit lower.

Sedentary would be between 27 and 30. Active would be between 33 and 36.9. And then very active, you know, roughly on average, it's like 77.

But what's interesting, if we look at some of the best scores for V02 Max out there by top athletes,

the top three scores, apparently, which is interesting, they're all from Norway.

One is a cyclist, and he's the top. Of course he's 18 years old, but his

V-O-2 max was like 97.5. That is crazy high. And then the other two were cross-country skiers from

Norway, very young. Both of their scores were like 96th. So I like these numbers because it always
