Summary
In this episode of Nina’s Notes, I explore VO2 max - potentially the most important health biomarker for longevity. I break down what VO2 max is, why it matters for your lifespan, and most importantly, how you can measure it yourself without expensive lab equipment. You can estimate your VO2 max with the Cooper’s Test, a simple 12-minute walking or running test you can do on any track or treadmill to estimate your VO2 max. I also share three proven training methods to boost your VO2 max: endurance training, interval training, and sprint interval training.
