  • What's your fitness age with your MS? Calculate it!

    This fitness article is appearing in this Sunday's New York Times magazine. You can try it yourself by using the calculator researchers developed. Even in my gimpy state, I registered a fitness age considerably lower than my real age of 45. How do you guys do? - Dave

    What’s Your ‘Fitness Age’?
    By GRETCHEN REYNOLDS

    Answering with complete honesty, I went from 73 to 38 in six months. I am now hovering around 175 lbs.

      63 going on 39 - which seems about right, but I know for a fact that the VO2 Max is off by 35%.
