Vo2 and fitness age readings

I’m 45 and seeing Vo2 max reading 37 poor, but with the fitness age underneath of an excellent 20 year old! I’m exercising mainly 2-3 times a week on an indoor bike (Wattbike).

Both of these reading can’t be right, right? Any explanations or tips appreciated thanks

Did you enter the activity class ? Connect App -> Menu -> settings -> User settings -> Activity class

Activity class is 5, not noticed that setting before but seems the right one, as I tend to exercise 2-3 times a week for 45 mins each time, thanks

Most people overlook that, so I asked ;-).. My score is 38 Good, so age will be a factor as well it seems. I do crossfit twice a week, activity class 6. My max was 42 a while ago (after holidays it takes some time to pick it back up). It needs some time to stabilize (about 4 weeks I would say) My wife just got her garmin and it says 38 Great, fitness age 25 :-) I think it is a few years off, hahaha. Anyway, I would not give it too much value since the algorithm seems to have some randomness in it. I do see I stabilize around 40 over time and holidays impact it a bit (although I do a lot of walking during holidays).
