I assume you meant VO2Max; the real thing costs money. I feel like such a shill but your Apple Watch estimates it based on your activity, heart rate and movement. It shows up in the Apple Fitness on your iPhone.
It is an estimate but it goes up with a fair amount of effort. It gets harder to make progress the further up you go. But I'm here to tell you that 32 feels a LOT better than 25.5 did. The downsides to working out is feeling sore. But the down side to not working out is feeling crappy. I'll take sore over crappy.
- bilsbie 4y agoI get a ton of exercise but I still feel out of shape. I wonder how the Apple Watch would handle that?
- CalChris 4y agoThe only thing trackers do is track. I found that, for me, just walking every day helped a lot (starting from a COVID couch potato). It got me to 30. But to get to the next level, you really have to stress. I had to start climbing stairs, sets of stairs. Five sets of the Cleveland Cascade in Oakland did it. I had to get my heart rate up for at least a minute at a time. And again, the only thing trackers do is keep me honest with myself about daily effort. Works for me.
