VO₂ Max: The One Number More Important Than Your Cholesterol

And no, you don’t need to be a runner to care about it.

Let’s talk about a number that most people don’t even know they have.

It’s called VO₂ Max.
And it might be the most important health number you're not tracking.

What Is VO₂ Max (In Plain English)?

VO₂ Max is a fancy way of saying how much oxygen your body can use when you’re working hard.

Think of it like your body’s engine power.
The higher your VO₂ Max, the better your heart, lungs, and muscles work together when you're moving—whether you’re running, biking, chasing your dog, or carrying groceries up the stairs.

In short: VO₂ Max = cardio fitness = life fuel.

Why It Matters (A Lot)

Here’s the wild part:
VO₂ Max is one of the strongest predictors of how long you’ll live.
Yes, really. Even more than cholesterol, blood pressure, or BMI.

When your VO₂ Max is low, it means your heart and lungs are struggling to keep up.
That makes everything harder—walking, recovering from stress, even sleeping well.

When your VO₂ Max is high, it means you’re more resilient. You can handle stress. You recover faster. You move better. And yep—you live longer.

"But I Don’t Do Cardio..."

You don’t have to run marathons.
You just need to move with purpose—and track how your body handles it.

At DexaFit, we use a science-backed test (called a VO₂ Max test) to measure this number exactly. No guessing. No fitness watches trying to estimate. Just real data, from real breathing, on real equipment.

What the Test Is Like

Here’s what to expect:

👟 You’ll wear a mask that tracks your breathing.
🚴 You’ll walk or pedal on a treadmill or bike while we slowly turn up the intensity.
📊 It gets harder near the end—and that’s on purpose. We want to see how far you can go.
🧠 You’re always in control. You’ll tell us when you’ve hit your limit—we don’t guess, and we don’t push past what feels right for you.

The whole thing takes about 10–15 minutes.
And you’ll walk out with way more clarity than any doctor’s office has ever given you.

What You’ll Learn From a DexaFit VO₂ Test:

✅ Your current VO₂ Max score
✅ Your personal heart rate zones (so you train smarter, not harder)
✅ Your cardio age—how your body compares to others your age
✅ Whether you’re trending toward high performance or early burnout

How to Improve Your VO₂ Max

Here’s the good news: You can improve it—fast.

Try this:

🏃 Move on purpose 3–4x a week: walking, biking, swimming, hiking
💓 Stay in the right zone (based on your test) to build endurance
🛌 Recover well—your heart gets stronger when you rest, too
📈 Retest in 8–12 weeks to see what’s changed

And yes, we’ll show you exactly what to do based on your results.

Muscle: The Longevity Metric Most People Ignore

And why that needs to change—like, yesterday.

When you think about getting older, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?

For most people, it’s wrinkles, weight gain, or maybe getting a little slower.

But the real story? It’s muscle.

That’s right—your muscle mass might be the most important thing you’re not tracking. And no, we’re not talking about bodybuilder vibes. This is about staying mobile, energetic, and independent for as long as possible.

Let’s break it down.

What Is Muscle Mass (and Why Should You Care)?

Muscle mass is the part of your body made up of lean tissue—the stuff that moves you, supports you, and literally keeps you upright.

As you age, you naturally lose muscle.
This is called sarcopenia, and it starts sneaking up as early as your 30s. If you don’t track and protect your muscle, you could lose up to 30% by your 70s.

That’s not just about strength.
It affects:

• How fast your metabolism runs

• How steady your balance is

• How easy it is to recover from stress, workouts, or injuries

• How long you can live on your own

More Muscle = More Life

Strong muscles = strong life. Simple as that.

Want to keep hiking, lifting grandkids, or traveling well into your 70s and 80s?
Want to avoid falls, frailty, or slow recovery from illness?

Then you need to build—and track—your muscle now.

Why the Scale Can’t Help You

You can lose fat AND lose muscle at the same time—and your scale won’t tell you the difference.
In fact, the scale might show weight loss as “good,” even if you’re losing the wrong kind of weight.

This is where DEXA comes in.

How DEXA Scans Help You Track Muscle (The Right Way)

Unlike your bathroom scale or smart watch, a DEXA scan shows you exactly:

• How much lean muscle you have

• Where your muscle is (arms, legs, core)

• How you compare to people your age and sex

• If you have any muscle imbalances that might lead to injury

It’s the gold standard for tracking body composition. And it only takes 10–15 minutes.

Real Talk: This Isn’t Just About Looking Good

Muscle is the most powerful anti-aging tool you’ve got.

The science is clear:
People with more lean muscle mass live longer, feel better, and bounce back faster.
And even better—it’s never too late to build it.

What You Can Do Today

Here’s how to start:

✅ Test Your Muscle Mass:
Get a DEXA scan to know your baseline. You can’t manage what you don’t measure.

✅ Lift Something:
You don’t need to hit PRs. Just use your muscles—bodyweight, resistance bands, or weights. Start where you are.

✅ Eat Enough Protein:
Your body needs building blocks to hold onto muscle—especially with age.

✅ Repeat and Retest:
Come back in 3–6 months to track progress. DexaFit AI makes it easy to see what’s working (and what’s not).

Bonus: Ask Us About Pathways to Peak™

Want more than just a scan?
Pathways to Peak™ is our 12-week game plan built from your test results. It matches your goals with your real data and gives you a step-by-step plan to get stronger, leaner, and sharper—fast.

It’s like GPS for your health. (Without the annoying voice.)

DEXA vs. Old-School Body Tests: Why the Right Tools Matter

Let’s be real—your body isn’t a math problem. So why do most health tests treat it like one?

You’ve probably heard of BMI, skin calipers, smart scales, or even the Bod Pod. They all try to guess what your body’s made of. But guessing is the key word here.

If you want real answers—about your fat, muscle, and bone strength—you need a better tool. That’s where DEXA scanscome in.

Let’s break it down, no science degree needed.

The Old-School Stuff (And Where It Fails)

Here’s a quick look at the tools most people still use—and why they might be holding you back:

🧮 BMI (Body Mass Index)

This one’s simple: it just divides your weight by your height.

Why it’s used: Fast, cheap, and easy.
Why it falls short: It can’t tell fat from muscle. So if you're fit or muscular, it might label you as “overweight.” Yikes.

✂️ Skinfold Calipers

Pinch your fat in a few spots and do some math.

Why people like it: Portable and cheap.
Why it’s a problem: Human error. Plus, it only measures fat under the skin—not the deep stuff that really matters.

⚡ Smart Scales & BIA Devices

These send a tiny electrical current through your body and try to guess what’s fat vs. muscle.

Why it sounds cool: It’s tech!
But: Your hydration, what you ate, or even where you place your feet can change the results. It's not reliable.

💦 Hydrostatic Weighing & Bod Pod

Water or air is used to guess your body fat.

Pretty accurate... in theory. But you have to undress, fast, and breathe just right. Not ideal for everyday life.

The Truth: These Methods Are Just... Estimates.

They can’t see what’s inside.
They can’t tell you where your fat is.
They definitely can’t track muscle or bone changes over time.

That’s where DEXA wins. Every time.

What Makes DEXA So Different?

DEXA stands for Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry. Yeah, it sounds fancy. But all you need to know is this:

🔍 It sees everything—fat, muscle, and bones.
📍 It shows where things are in your body (hello, belly fat).
📊 It tracks your changes with crazy-high accuracy.

Here’s what DEXA gives you that old-school tests can’t:

✅ Real Accuracy

Not an estimate. A direct readout of your fat, muscle, and bone.

✅ Visceral Fat Data

This is the dangerous fat around your organs. DEXA sees it. Calipers and smart scales can’t.

✅ Muscle Tracking

Want to know if you're building muscle or losing it? DEXA tells you what’s really going on.

✅ Bone Density

Yes, DEXA checks your bones too. That means you can watch out for things like osteoporosis.

⚠️ Quick PSA About “DEXA Vans”

Some places offer mobile DEXA scans in vans. Sounds convenient, right? But here’s the issue:

🛻 Vans move. DEXA machines need to stay perfectly still and level. If they’re not, the scans aren’t accurate—and that means your results can’t be trusted.

DexaFit uses certified, in-clinic machines that are locked in place. No movement. No wonky numbers. Just clean, reliable data.

Why DexaFit’s DEXA Is Next-Level

Okay, now here’s where we take things even further:

🧠 DexaFit AI tracks your progress, predicts trends, and gives you a “body score” you can actually understand.

📈 Want to build more muscle? We’ll show you how much you need to reach the top 25% of people your age.

🧍‍♂️ Trying to lose fat the smart way? We’ll map it out—no guesswork, no generic advice.

📲 And it’s all inside the app, right on your phone.

You Deserve Better Than Guesswork

You’re not a number on a scale. You’re not a “BMI.” You’re a complex, amazing human.

And you deserve to know what’s really going on inside your body.

Because when you finally stop guessing, everything gets easier.

What Your DEXA Report Really Means

You got a DEXA scan—nice move. It’s not just a fancy name. It’s one of the most accurate ways to see what’s going on inside your body. Think of it like a full-body report card: how much fat you have, how much lean muscle you're carrying, how strong your bones are, and more.

But here’s the thing: most people stop at the “fat percentage” and call it a day. At DexaFit, we go deeper. Because those extra numbers? They tell the real story of your health.

Let’s walk through your report, minus the confusion.

1. Fat Mass

This tells you how much of your body is made up of fat. Not just the total, but where that fat is hanging out.

Key things to look at:

• Body Fat % – This is your total fat divided by your weight.

• Visceral Fat – The kind of fat that wraps around your organs. It’s sneaky and not the kind you can pinch. Too much of it can raise your risk for things like heart disease or diabetes.

• Fat Distribution – Is your fat more in your belly or your hips? This matters.

• A/G Ratio – Android (belly) vs. Gynoid (hips and thighs). A higher A/G ratio can signal greater health risks.

💡 Quick Tip: You need some fat—your body uses it to make hormones and store energy. But if that fat is hanging around your organs or piling up in the wrong places, it’s time to take action.

2. Fat-Free Mass

This is everything that’s not fat: muscles, bones, organs, water.

Why it matters:

• More lean mass = better strength, metabolism, and movement.

• It also means your body burns more calories, even at rest.

👀 Keep an eye on:

• FFMI (Fat-Free Mass Index) – Like BMI, but way smarter. It shows how muscular you are for your size.

• ALMI (Appendicular Lean Mass Index) – Tells you how much lean mass is in your arms and legs. It’s a strong sign of mobility and strength, especially as you age.

3. Bone Density

DEXA was actually first used to test bone health. And it still does a great job.

Why it’s important:

• Strong bones = fewer breaks and falls as you get older.

• Low bone density could mean early signs of osteoporosis.

🧠 DexaFit Bonus: We also compare your bones to healthy people your age so you know where you stand.

4. The Power of Pattern-Tracking (with AI)

One scan gives you a snapshot. But two or more? That’s when the magic starts.

With DexaFit AI, you can:

• Watch your trends over time (not just one random number).

• See how changes in diet or workouts are really affecting you.

• Get smart suggestions to help you move forward—no guesswork.

📱 It’s all in your app: progress charts, peer comparisons, and reminders to retest before you fall off track.

So… What Should You Do With All This?

Data is cool, but action is cooler. Here’s where to start:

✅ If your visceral fat is high:
Try structured cardio, strength training, better sleep, and stress-reducing habits.

✅ If your muscle mass is lower than it should be:
Eat more protein, lift heavier, and make sure you're recovering well.

✅ If your A/G ratio is off:
Time to tweak that nutrition and get moving—especially if you’re sitting a lot.

And the best part? You don’t have to figure this out alone.
We can turn your numbers into a personalized game plan—made just for you.

📈 Curious about what comes next?

Why is VO2 Max a Critical Metric for Your Health and Longevity?

What is VO2 Max?

VO2 Max, or maximal oxygen uptake, measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. It reflects how efficiently your heart, lungs, and muscles work together to supply and use oxygen. This metric is a powerful indicator of aerobic capacity and cardiovascular health.

Rather than serving as the sole predictor of health, VO2 Max is part of a broader picture of fitness and longevity. Improving VO2 Max can enhance your endurance, physical performance, and recovery ability, making it an important consideration in long-term health management.

How VO2 Max Relates to Cardiovascular Fitness and Longevity

VO2 Max and Cardiovascular Health

VO2 Max directly reflects the strength and efficiency of your cardiovascular system. When you engage in physical activity, your muscles require oxygen to sustain movement. A higher VO2 Max means that your body can deliver oxygen more effectively, allowing you to perform strenuous exercise for longer periods without fatigue.

Improving VO2 Max has been linked to better heart health by enhancing lung capacity, increasing cardiac output, and reducing risk factors for conditions such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, and stroke.

VO2 Max and Longevity

Research shows that individuals with higher VO2 Max levels often experience better health outcomes as they age. Maintaining aerobic capacity supports mobility, reduces the risk of chronic illnesses, and helps maintain independence in later years. By improving this key metric, you are investing in your current fitness and long-term vitality.

What to Expect from DexaFit’s VO2 Max Testing

DexaFit offers a highly accurate VO2 Max test designed to provide personalized insights into your aerobic capacity. The test typically involves a graded exercise session, during which your oxygen intake and output are measured. This data gives you a comprehensive understanding of your cardiovascular performance and health.

Benefits of DexaFit’s VO2 Max Test:

• Precise Data: Get an exact measurement of your body's oxygen utilization to guide your fitness strategy.

• Customized Guidance: DexaFit provides recommendations based on your results, helping you optimize endurance, recovery, and overall fitness.

• Progress Monitoring: Regular testing allows you to track improvements over time and make data-driven adjustments to your exercise routine.

These insights empower you to take a targeted approach to improving fitness and long-term health.

Actionable Steps to Improve VO2 Max

To boost your VO2 Max, consistent training and recovery strategies are essential. Here are key steps to help improve this critical metric:

1. Focus on Interval Training

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) alternates between short bursts of intense effort and recovery periods. This approach challenges your heart and lungs to adapt, improving your body's oxygen efficiency over time.

2. Increase Steady-State Aerobic Exercise

Running, swimming, and cycling help build a strong aerobic base. Aim for a regular exercise routine that includes at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, as recommended by health professionals.

3. Prioritize Rest and Recovery

Rest is just as important as exercise for improving VO2 Max. Adequate sleep and post-exercise recovery allow your body to repair and strengthen cardiovascular and muscular systems, enabling higher performance in future workouts.

4. Monitor Your Progress

Regular assessments, such as DexaFit's VO2 Max test, help you track changes in your aerobic capacity. Progress monitoring allows you to adjust your training intensity and duration as needed to ensure continued improvement.

By incorporating these strategies into your lifestyle, you can support better endurance, fitness, and overall health.

Take the Next Step Toward Improved Fitness and Longevity

Understanding your VO2 Max is a powerful tool for optimizing your health and performance. Book a VO2 Max test with DexaFit to receive precise, personalized data that can guide your fitness journey.

What is Visceral Fat? How DexaFit Helps You Identify It and Why It Matters

Understanding Visceral Fat and Its Health Risks

Visceral fat is a type of body fat stored deep within the abdominal cavity, surrounding key organs like the liver, pancreas, and intestines. Unlike subcutaneous fat, which lies just beneath the skin, visceral fat is linked to serious health risks when present in excess.

Health Conditions Associated with Visceral Fat:

• Heart Disease: Research shows that high visceral fat levels can increase cardiovascular risks.

• Type 2 Diabetes: Excess visceral fat is associated with insulin resistance, which can contribute to elevated blood sugar levels.

• Chronic Inflammation: Visceral fat releases inflammatory chemicals that may increase the risk of metabolic syndrome and other chronic conditions.

While some fat is necessary for organ protection, Visceral fat itself is not essential, and managing visceral fat is crucial for long-term health. Identifying and monitoring visceral fat early allows for preventive health measures and lifestyle adjustments to mitigate these risks.

How DEXA Scans Provide Accurate Visceral Fat Measurements

Traditional methods like BMI or waist circumference can estimate body fat, but they often lack precision in identifying and quantifying visceral fat. Methods like bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) also fall short. While BIA can provide a general overview of body composition, it doesn't differentiate between different types of fat. It measures total body water and uses this to estimate lean mass and fat mass, but it cannot pinpoint where that fat is located. This means it can't specifically measure visceral fat, the type of fat stored around your organs and linked to various health risks. This is where DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scans provide a more advanced solution. DexaFit’s DEXA technology offers detailed, data-driven insights into your body composition

Key Advantages of DEXA Scans:

• Precision: DEXA scans can differentiate between bone, muscle, subcutaneous fat, and visceral fat with a high degree of accuracy.

• Comprehensive Data: The scan provides a full breakdown of fat distribution, offering insights that are essential for assessing health risks.

• Progress Tracking: Regular DEXA scans allow individuals to monitor changes in body composition over time, enabling more targeted health and fitness strategies.

This data helps inform clients about potential health risks and offers a reliable baseline for improvement efforts.

Actionable Steps to Reduce Visceral Fat

Once your visceral fat levels have been measured, it's important to take steps toward improving metabolic health. Consistent effort in these areas can lead to significant reductions in visceral fat:

1. Adopt a Balanced, Nutrient-Dense Diet: Focus on whole foods, including lean proteins, fiber-rich vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats. Reducing sugar and processed foods can help balance insulin levels and support fat loss, particularly around the abdomen.

2. Incorporate Both Cardio and Strength Training: Engaging in regular aerobic activities, such as walking or cycling, along with resistance training, can improve metabolic function and help burn visceral fat. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, as recommended by health professionals.

3. Prioritize Quality Sleep: Poor sleep has been linked to increased visceral fat and higher stress hormone (cortisol) levels. Strive for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to support hormonal balance and recovery.

4. Reduce Stress Levels: Chronic stress can increase cortisol production, which promotes fat storage in the abdominal area. Stress-reducing activities such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises can help mitigate this effect.

5. Limit Alcohol Consumption and Avoid Smoking: Both smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are strongly linked to increased visceral fat storage. Quitting smoking and moderating alcohol intake are crucial steps for reducing visceral fat and improving overall health.

6. Monitor Your Progress Regularly: Regular assessments, such as DEXA scans, provide clear evidence of progress. Monitoring these results over time helps refine health strategies and maintain motivation.

By implementing these steps, you can improve your overall health, reduce your risk of chronic disease, and enhance your energy and well-being.

Why Accurate Health Insights Matter

Reducing visceral fat is about more than aesthetics. It is a critical component of long-term health management, lowering risks associated with heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. When you understand your body’s unique composition, you can take informed, personalized actions to maintain optimal health and longevity.

• DEXA scans measure fat distribution, muscle mass, and bone density, offering a comprehensive body view. This helps you understand where to focus your efforts, such as improving muscle mass or reducing fat in specific areas.

2. Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing:

• Understanding your metabolic rate is critical for managing calorie intake. RMR analysis helps you estimate how much energy your body uses at rest, giving you a better idea of how to structure your dietary choices.

3. VO2 Max Testing for Fitness Clarity:

• VO2 Max testing provides insights into your cardiovascular health and endurance levels. Knowing your fitness baseline can help you focus on workouts that support your goals, whether building stamina or improving overall heart health.

Why Generic Fitness Advice Fails: The Power of Precision Health Data

The internet is full of fitness advice—from diet plans to workout routines—that claim to work for everyone. But if you've tried a few of these tips and felt frustrated by the lack of results, you're not alone. In reality, generic fitness advice often falls short because it doesn't consider the unique factors that make your body different. This post will explore why understanding your body through personalized health data is critical to achieving meaningful results and how DexaFit's advanced testing can help guide your fitness journey.

The Problem with One-Size-Fits-All Fitness

Generic fitness plans often rely on assumptions and averages, treating all bodies similarly. For example, a standard calorie-based diet might assume you need a specific caloric intake to lose weight. Still, everyone has different factors like metabolism, muscle mass, and body composition.

These one-size-fits-all approaches can lead to:

• Plateaus in weight loss or muscle gain due to inaccurate caloric intake and energy expenditure estimates.

• Frustration and loss of motivation when results don't match the effort.

• Potential health risks from following advice unsuited to your unique body needs.

How Precision Health Data Makes the Difference

Precision health data, like the metrics provided by DexaFit's assessments, helps you understand your body better. This insight lets you approach your health and fitness goals more personalized and informedly. Here's what DexaFit offers:

• DEXA Scans: These provide a detailed breakdown of body composition, including fat distribution, lean muscle mass, and bone density. Understanding these factors can help you tailor your fitness and nutrition routines more effectively.

• VO2 Max Testing: Measures cardiovascular efficiency, offering insights into how your body uses oxygen during exercise. This information helps you understand your fitness level and potential areas for improvement.

• Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Analysis: Reveals your unique caloric burn rate, giving you valuable data to consider when planning dietary changes or energy balance strategies.

Real-Life Impact: How Personalized Data Informs Better Choices

Consider two people of the same age, height, and weight who want to lose weight. A generic diet might recommend the same calorie intake for both, but:

• One person may have a higher muscle-to-fat ratio, requiring more calories to support lean mass.

• The other may have a slower metabolism, needing fewer calories to achieve their goals.

Without data-driven insights from tools like DEXA scans and RMR analysis, their results would likely vary even if they followed the same plan. With DexaFit's assessments, they can better understand their unique needs and adjust their approach accordingly.

How DexaFit Supports Informed Decision-Making

DexaFit's services are designed to provide data, not prescriptions. Here's how this data can empower you:

1. Avoiding Plateaus: You can adjust your fitness and nutrition strategies to maintain progress by understanding your muscle-to-fat ratio and metabolic rate.

2. Building Motivation: Clear, measurable data helps you track improvements, reinforcing your commitment to your goals.

3. Improving Safety and Effectiveness: Personalized data helps guide safer approaches, reducing the risk of injury or health issues arising from unsuitable routines.

Expert Insight: Why Data-Driven Fitness is the Future

Health and fitness experts agree that the future lies in personalization. "Generic advice can only take you so far," explains a health optimization specialist. "Health data empowers individuals to make informed decisions that align with their unique needs."
