Live Younger

VO2max measures the maximum amount of oxygen you can burn while working out. The fitter you are, the higher it will be.

VO2max declines by about 10% every decade after the age of 30.

CAROL Bike is scientifically proven to improve your VO2max by 12%—in just 8 weeks. That’s like turning the clock back on your age by 10 years.
