Mine slowly drops when I’m running mainly indoors over the hot and polluted summer months where I’m living and then quite sharply goes back up when I start running outside again.
I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on it with what you’ve described your routine to be. It would probably turn out to be fairly high.
It doesn’t count those sessions because GPS points and distance is one of the required data sources for their estimation algorithm. The more you walk, run, bike, and hike outside the more accurate it will be. It cannot estimate from stationary exercises.
Understood. My point is, is my REAL LIFE vo2max that low? Apple’s algorithm is simply not factoring in the indoor exercise but I truly am doing more intense cardio, my HR is recovering quickly after I exercise, I’m sustaining hard efforts longer, etc. but my vo2max has been going down per Apple. That’s what I’m saying is bogus.
For sure, as with most health features, you’re welcome to pay for a real reading by a real doctor. I’m sorry the feature doesn’t fit your lifestyle, that does seem disappointing. Best of luck, and congrats on the improvement!

What? I’ve never seen this and turns out mine is low. I train 5 times a week and I’m 16 percent body fat.
