Casey Ruff, had me get on the treadmill and start running. After 5 minutes, I looked down and saw CardioPoint. I asked Casey about it and he realized he had started me on the wrong test. Since it ruined the CaloriePoint test--no strenuous exercise allowed, he finished this test free of charge and scheduled a CaloriePoint for Monday at 6:30 am.
I compared my test results from November to January's results. This CardioPoint test revealed my ability to run in zone 2 and zone 3 has increased. I can run in those zones burning more fat than I could before. It looks like I burn fat more efficiently from 10.5 fat calories per minute down to 5.9 per minute. I've lost 20 lbs since I started in November. My aerobic threshold was 160 and is now 162 bpm. Casey said that I was on track, two thumbs up!!

VO2 stands for the Volume of Oxygen your body absorbs per minute while at rest and when you move.
Peak VO2 measures your heart and lung fitness
The Closer Threshold VO2 is to Peak VO2, the more fit you are
Higher VO2 indicates better fitness
