I love this post! ‘People are ageless’ is what i’ve been told and i totally believe that. You’re only as old as you feel.

I did my first VO2 max bike test about 12 months ago at my university (that I have since graduated from). It wasn’t one of those sub-max tests, this was the Real McCoy: gas mask, HR monitor, blood lactates (and a Human Movement Honours student). I felt like an elite athlete for an hour (includes setting up time). It was an amazing experience. A strange experience too, particuarly as i had never been snorkelling!

I found myself thinking about my VO2 Max test just yesterday actually, as I showed off my new Polar HR monitor to my PT. I couldn’t for the life of me recall what my max HR or VO2 max was but told Gav I’d look it up. I’m really keen to do another VO2 max test in the new year. Objective data like this and the Harper’s Biological Age test are priceless for anyone wanting to monitor progress in fitness and strength and aerobic efficiency. Don’t however, underestimate the subjective side of getting fitter and stronger and leaner and lighter. It’s not all about the numbers and stuff. Feeling more confident, clothes getting looser, having more energy, needing less sleep etc are things you can’t measure.

Hi Craig,
I too have had the privilege of meeting Tommy Hafey.
If you ask Tommy “how are you?” He always answers
“Fantastic, and getting better!”. I love how positive he is. He anticipates that things are going to get even better than fantastic. How inspitring is that!!!!!!!

I wonder how quickly one can dramatically change their bio-age…for better or for worse. Is it about habits like flossing too?

I don’t know what my biological age is, I do know I’m 45 with the mind of a 25 year old and feel fitter, healthier & happier than I did when I was 25. So rock on the next 45 years…. “Life’s great”

P.S I agree with EM… “eeww” to hairy nipple bloke bring back “buff boy”…. mmmm…yumo just the thought….

I’m guessing a BAT can’t be done from a distance. I’d love to know how young I am!

Aaaarrrggghh!!! Hairy-Nipple-Man strikes back!!! Ugh. Can’t we have Buff Boy return, Craigo??? I’m having hot-muscle-man withdrawals!!!

I would love to know my bio age … I think it would be fascinating. Might have to schedule a trip over to Harper’s me thinks.

It would be a beneficial test for everyone – because it really does show that all the choices you make affect your body at a cellular level. So, when we make the decision to eat the crap, drink the alcohol and smoke those cigarettes … it affects our bodies in every little (and big) way.
Wow, it’s given me a whole new way of thinking about my comfort eating!! If I keep this in mind, hopefully in the heat of battle I’ll rethink my junk choices.

Nice one.
Em
