🎵 I'm Spinning Around 🎵 Get Outta My Waayy :) Interesting vlog Flora, you must be over the moon with the ❤rate recovery numbers. Wouldn't worry about blood pressure, up & down like a fiddler's elbow ! Overall, shows you've reaped the benefits of all that hard work, after a lengthy spell of EVBCovFluNovoMonkeyPox lurgy ! Definitely looking a lot "Happier chicken" post this test, than the last 😁 You, Fi & Ti have a great day ☀️ 🏃‍♀️

Having a background in data science and fitness I always these deep dive fitness test videos. The muscle oxygen data was interesting, as you imply, a VO2 max in high 50s would be typically be able to run a sub 3 hour marathon. I'm guessing the protocol you used was some form of ramp test, I guess like anything it's hard to exactly compare exactly unless the same protocol was used previously (and ideally the same equipment).

[@FloraBeverley]

@@neil1974uk yes exactly this. The other test was more like 30 minutes I believe so would have showed up a lower VO2 max - I believe most tests are 10-15 mins, 20 mins for elites and the like. So hopefully (🤞) this is more accurate & can be replicated next year!

This is great Flora, I’m curious if your Garmin had estimated your V02 max and if it was different to this test?

[@FloraBeverley]

My garmin says 52! It said 54 last year when I was in proper training. Lots of reasons why it might not show up higher, probably partly because I purposefully don’t do max efforts nowadays. We’ll see if it starts to change as I pick up the workload a bit ☺️

[@Nayz13]

@ Thanks Flora, I’ll be curious to see what happens! At 45 years old my Garmin tells my V02 max is 46 which is supposed to be pretty good for my age, I’ve often thought of taking the test to see if the difference

[@iberiksoderblom]

It's all in all impressive, good genes and a well balanced active lifestyle.

[@tomgubbins]

What does your watch predict your V02Max as? Be interested to know how accurate watches are.

[@FloraBeverley]

@@tomgubbins it says 52 atm! But since I’ve not been doing any all-out efforts (purposefully) it’s not surprising it’s not 100% accurate.

Where is your rainbow crop shirt from Flora? It is so nice! 😃

[@lazzaboyman8003]

Not sure if I missed it but what did the test cost?

[@FloraBeverley]

@@lazzaboyman8003 hey! Depends which one you get. I got extra bits I didn’t show in here, but this link will show the different tests & get you 15% off: alixr.co.uk/?ref=Flora

I think/hope the BF% is quite off. Female *Essential* body fat is about 10%. It is very difficult and unhealthy to maintain a BF% less than that. Those who maintain such a low BF% will likely have hugely compromised health, immunity and fertility. If you take a look at examples of females with about 10%, you will find physique competitors. Their bodies are much more cut than yours with great muscle definition and visible abs. I am very surprised the test administrator did not either realize your result of 9.7% was incorrect or counsel you that it is not healthy for females.

[@FloraBeverley]

@@Bobbie-e5k I agree it seems low!! But we did speak about a lot more than I shared on this vid in person, it just didn’t make the cut. I figured the vlog was long enough!

[@Bobbie-e5k]

@@FloraBeverley I think it irresponsible for you to present it in a way that the 9.8% is correct and/or okay

[@FloraBeverley]

@@Bobbie-e5k if you’ve seen any of my other content you’ll know I’ve spoken at length about this subject since I started this channel. Honestly when I was filming the results voiceover it was days after I had spoken to Alixr about it so I had forgotten what we discussed, and either way and it isn’t the bit I wanted to focus on.

[@FloraBeverley]

RIGHT just coming back to this because I also wanted to know what happened! When we spoke about the results on the testing site, the results were higher. When I eventually got the full report, for some reason just the subcutaneous fat levels were shown instead of overall fat. They’ve apologised for the error and I will clarify with others too. It’s a busy time of year, things sometimes do slip through the net, but thanks for bringing it to my attention.

[@FloraBeverley]

@@shaylorcyclingwahoo goodness, I guess this is why people don’t share their data. I always mention that this is *HIGHLY personal and can’t be compared between people* for exactly this reason. Your wife sounds perfectly healthy, and as we know, less BF does not necessarily make you healthier, faster, fitter or indeed happier.

[@Potomekopice]

OK, i trust the science, Flora is ideal woman for a marriage 😘
