There I’ll be sharing my insights and personal achievements in the realms of health, vitality, and longevity. <a href="https://yktoo.com/en/blog/subscribe/" class="internal" title="Subscribe">Subscribe here</a>!</p> <p>Today, let’s talk about a rather intriguing metric known as <strong>VO₂max</strong>, also known as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VO2_max" class="wikipedia" lang="en">maximal oxygen uptake</a>. Modern physiology treats VO₂max as the gold standard for <strong>measuring physical fitness</strong> of a person.</p> <p>And here’s where it gets really interesting: if you know your VO₂max today, you can predict your fitness level <strong>10</strong>, <strong>20</strong>, <strong>30</strong> etc. years from now.

My New Year’s resolution for this year (what the Dutch call <i class="flang">nieuwjaarsvoornemens</i>) was to lose weight — specifically, to reduce my <em>visceral fat percentage while maintaining muscle mass</em>.</p> <p>As you can see in the photo, the results speak for themselves. In numbers, I’ve gone from <strong>87 kg</strong> to <strong>72 kg</strong> (<strong>-15 kg</strong> or <strong>-33 lb</strong>) in body mass, and my visceral fat percentage has dropped from <strong>13%</strong> to <strong>7%</strong>.</p> <p>I’m thrilled with the progress (also visible in the photo) — more details below.</p> <p><a href="https://yktoo.com/en/blog/post/2024/12/25-maximizing-lean-body-mass-my-results-so-far/" style="padding: 12px; background-color: #089664; color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none;">Read on »</a></p>
