How do you really know if you're pushing hard enough to trigger fat burning?
I've got a secret - your VO2 max is the key to knowing whether you're training effectively or just stressing out.
It measures your body's maximum capacity to use oxygen during exercise — in simple terms, your cardiovascular fitness level.
Here's the game-changer: when you hit that VO2 max > 80%, your fat-burning hormones turn on. But if you're pacing too slow or long, you're not triggering that fat burn at all.
You might think you're working out, but you're just stressing your body without maximising results.
Paying attention to your VO2 max helps you train smarter - and you need a weable devie to know this.
Less stress, more fat burn — that’s the real goal.
Worth thinking about.
