My estimated fitness age is 37. I'm 41, so I guess I'll take it.

My age was calculated to be 29! (I'm 58) :laugh:

JUDDDing

Mine is 28 - I'm 40. It must be broken.

Barbonica

I am 51 in real life, but it said my fitness was 29, and VO2MAX is 42. Take that to all my friends who think I am becoming a little too focused on working out. :bigsmile:

zumbalinda22

52, and got a fitness age of 34! Woohoo! Maybe I AM doing something right after all!

supermuslimgirl

That can't be correct. I'm coming in at a full 12 years under my actual age. I mean, I'm flattered, yeah, but...and when I hit my goal weight in 4 months it'll read more than 20 years younger than I actually am.

Then again, compared to most of my peers at this age, I am in better shape than them...so maybe it's not so crazy...

I got in the low 20's, but I'm on a beta blocker. I don't know what my 'real' resting pulse rate is, darnit.

I'm looking forward to turning 38 in a few days, so I'd put that in.

Age: 38
VO2MAX: 52
Estimated fitness age: Under 20

^ Explains a lot.

jwdieter

Under 20 is the new 40.

TheFitHooker

cats847

This calculator is way too optimistic. I'm not convinced.

kristarablue2

Say's mine is younger than 20...lol...I am 41, I sooooo don't believe it! But fun to see.

kckBxer396

I'm 25, but my fitness age is 32. :laugh:

ElyseL1

Mine is 22 and I'm 28 so i'll take it

sijomial

I like that calculator!

Gives me a fitness age of 24 and VO2 max score of 54

In reality I'm 53 and I did a VO2 max test today which gave me a score of 48.

Yeah, it's BS. I'm in terrible shape, smoke and have a resting pulse of 90 but it said my fitness age was 25. In dog years, maybe.

Did you remember to convert your waistline measurement to cm? Failure to do so could result in a false positive result. :laugh:

RECowgill

My fitness age is 25, my actual age is 39. Seems half legit.
