Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. Continuous Glucose Monitor

A CGM can provide you with valuable information about your blood sugar and overall health. By wearing a CGM you are able to track which meals spike your blood sugar and how quickly you recover. You can also track how activities such as exercise and sauna impact your blood glucose levels.

2. Why VO2 Max is Important

Understanding your VO2 Max score will help you know if you need to improve your cardiovascular health.  By improving your VO2 Max you can impact everyday actives and quality of life.  

3. How to Test VO2 Max on a Bike

The typical way to test VO2 Max is by running but if you are unable to run there is a way you can test using a stationary bike. This test uses pulse rate and work output in watts to calculate max VO2. You can find out how to complete the test here: https://www.brianmac.co.uk/cycle6min.htm
