What’s your cardio fitness level?

[AllllTheStupidQuestions]

Just got an Apple Watch and it’s telling me my cardio fitness is low (19). Cheer me up and tell me I’m not the only one😁

I don't have an apple watch to compare. Do you know what scale 19 refers to?

Really good - I have a Garmin, and don't get a cardio fitness score, but my VO2Max is 41 which is in the top 10% for my age and gives me a fitness age 22 years younger than my calendar age

Sorry, 26 years younger :-)

How do you see that? I’ve an old Apple Watch so maybe don’t have that feature?

My cardio fitness is apparently 42-46 which is at the top end of excellent for 'a woman my age' :)

(I'm nearly 60!)

I’ve just tried to find mine. Is it the thing that’s measured in VO2max?? If so mine was 41

Mine is 36. I'm in my 50s and run every day. However, I would question how accurate it is, as my watch is quite poor at measuring my heart rate when I'm running. DD said the other day that the watch only calculates that measurement from outdoor walks and runs, and as she most does HIIT she doesn't think hers is a true representation. I haven't looked into it further but I'd be tempted to treat it with a pinch of salt!

63 and cardio fitness score 27.4.

Sorry 28.4

Age 41 and cardio fitness/VO2max of 36 (Fitbit not Apple Watch)

My VO2 max is 52 - top 2% of my age group. That said I have always done a lot of endurance sport and run about 50 - 70 miles per week at present amongst other exercise so would expect it to be good.

I am currently far too neglectful of strength training which I really need to address.

Too bad fit bit and Apple have different metrics I’m on Apple

I don't have an Apple Watch. How can I find out how unfit I am? (I know I'm quite unfit because I can't keep up with my friends).

According to my Fitbit mine is 39 which is excellent for women my age (48) .

My fitbit says mine is 33-37 which is good to very good for a woman of my age (43). Considering I'm overweight/ borderline obese and not especially active, I'm quite surprised by that.

Fitbit is 43-47 which is excellent for a woman of my age, allegedly. I am inordinately proud of my heart health, which I mostly got for free from my parents.

Im 44 and got max V02 43.7...eel happy with that as I've turned my exercise up so many levels in the past year, precious to that I did very little, but I've worked hard

Well I meant

We'd all be better off looking at our Q-risk qrisk.org/three/index.php

But you do need to know your blood pressure and your cholesterol ratios to do it properly.

Mine is 30 - average for my age. Considering I have around 3 stone to lose, it isn't awful, but I'd like it to be better. It has improved substantially through regular exercise and as a result of weight loss.

41-45 on Fitbit.
Annoyingly, despite doing the same exercise, my resting heart rate goes up after ovulation which always takes my score down slightly. Then period starts, heart rate goes down, and my fitness score goes back up. Clearly fitbit doesn't factor menstruation in. Just women innit.

My Garmin rates mine as 47, top 1% for my age & sex. Apparently I have a fitness age of 20. I just wish I had the recovery of a 20 year old.
