I am youger than a 20 year old, apparently ....

[marymac442]

Obviously that 20 year old must be an overweight couch potato cause I'm younger than him too. Could someone tell that to my hips and knees.

[HCcD]

Perhaps, this fitness calculator is a bit skewed/biased in favour of endurance athlets ...

[purdy65]

Well that just silly. Under 20 here too

[runJrun]

Also under 20 What a young bunch we are.

[turd ferguson]

I'm one minute older than when I started filling out that stupid form.

[La]

33

What variables did you use? Did you all answer "I go all out" when asked about intensity? I didn't, because I don't go all out every time, so I chose the middle option.

I did as well, and ended up at 21 years old -- I'll take it!!

[ngcaper]

20 exactly...and no I don't go all out every time I run. I doubt even sprinters can claim that so if your a distance runner going All Out isn't really an option.

Answers:
Exercise Frequency: Almost everyday really 5X/wk
Duration: >30min - Garmin Says avg is 1:25
How Hard: Little Hard Breathing/Sweating
Age: 38
Waste: 80cm
Resting Pulse: 55bpm

I think Turd Fergusson has it right...I'm now 1min older than when I started filling out that stupid form

I picked the middle option for intensity. But I'm guessing it doesn't like my waist size (though it proportionally not huge compared to by build)...because I'm no 20 year old. I am as fit as I am old, I guess....or as Turd says, "one minute older after filling out the form"

Your VO2MAX is calculated to be

39

and your estimated "fitness age" is

37

I'll save myself the heartache and utilized that 1min by enjoying my lunch!

I came out 34. That's way younger than I really am, so I'm happy. I wouldn't want to be 20 again, anyway. My twenties were rough!

However, when I had a bone density scan, I found out I have the bones of a twenty-year old!

Hahahah...I was hoping for 18. It was much more fun to have to sneak to buy beer then when you can just walk in.

[FishHog]

well if I go all out, I'm under 20. If not, I'm 27.
Really I think I'm a fairly fit 43, with the exception of my calf tear that I injured when going all out, like a 20yr old. Can't freakin' win.

[Jwolf]

The quiz has some serious flaws- not enough choices in the answers and the assumption about resting heart rate.

Sh!t, is that's why I've got a mean case of heartburn at the moment?

[Spirit Unleashed]

30, I don't go all out. guessed a pulse to be 40.

[Ken B]

I used both some sweating and all out as I do both.

Some sweating VO2Max - 45 Age 48

All out VO2Max - 50 Age 35

[deerdree]

so i'm the only one whose fitness age was older?

(i really have to start running again. stupid back.)

I'm with you....

My first one came out with VO2 Max of 37 with a fitness age of 43....then I put in my more true resting heart rate (which I had to look up in my diary)...as opposed to the resting heart rate of someone who just did some housework. And the first time I guestimated my waist measurement. When I actually measured, I was 5 cm slimmer than I realized.

[ratherawkward]

It doesn't like my waist measurement at all. I got 37, but seeing as I'll turn 43 in less than two weeks, I'll take it.
