Summary

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I break down three health markers most people completely ignore — HRV, resting heart rate, and VO2 max — what they are, where your numbers should be, and exactly how to improve them. Sophie and I get into why tracking your weight and body fat isn't enough, why a low VO2 max is one of the strongest predictors of dying early, and the simple changes that can move these numbers fast.
