Turning 40 Has Consequences
Fitness & BP Are Correlated J Am Coll Cardiol. 2014;64(12):1245-1253. doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2014.06.1184
Fitness = Capacity for Physical Effort Units of Measure VO2Max METs METs = 3.5 * VO2Max
How does Fitness Relate to BP ? Higher Blood Pressure = Increased Vascular Resistance = Lower Stroke Volume = Lower Fitness
How to Measure Fitness Direct Method Indirect Method Energy Exp. HR Monitor (wa3s) HR VO2 VO2Max VO2Max

What is the Anaerobic Threshold ? Point at which muscles stop being able to efficiently uKlize oxygen and switch to using stored glycogen
The Hacker’s Guide to Fitness 1. Accurate data – parCcularly heart rate 2. Measure fitness repeatedly 3. Train above the anaerobic threshold The technology & learning lead to the creaCon of Revvo, a smart exercise bike See us at office hours, expo or sign-up online for a FREE fitness test siva@revvo.co, @jaravis, h3p://hack.fitness
