Today, the doc at my work asked me:
- Are you physically active? Gardening, for ex.
- Are you able to take the stairs?
- Do you get cramps when you walk?
These questions make me feel desperate for people's health.
It's unimaginable for me to let myself go to such extremes.
Today's #FunWithData
Pulling all tests from the database...
Even if all other markers of fitness remain the same, the average athlete will lose 0.03 kcal/min of #FatBurning power every year!
i.e. the average 60 yo will be burning ~25% less fat than the average 20 yo at a given power, even if they keep the same aerobic fitness!
Beyond general fitness, it's critical as we age, to our #MetabolicHealth, that we keep that fat oxidation strong!
