"Fitness can be measured by the volume of oxygen you can consume while exercising at your maximum capacity. VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen in millilitres, one can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight. Those who are fit have higher VO2 max values and can exercise more intensely than those who are not as well conditioned."
"The point at which oxygen consumption plateaus defines the VO2 max or an individual's maximal aerobic capacity. It is generally considered the best indicator of cardiorespiratory endurance and aerobic fitness...it is more useful as an indicator of a person's aerobic potential or upper limit than as a predictor of success in endurance events."
Finding out your VO2 Max number is much more accurate than the formula of subtracting your age from 220 and then multiplying by a certain percentage to find out at what heart rate range you should be exercising at.
Simone and I just watched E in his funny mask and took lots of photos. We didn't make it to Monday's 7am swim video analysis.
Apparently, E is not working to his full potential:
Josh, the analyst--a good guy and enamored with Simone:
