Magg,
Increasing movement is the best way to increase your VO2.
Get your heart pumping. You can improve your VO2 max by doing any aerobic exercise that gets your heart pumping - the more vigorous, the better. If you're not currently active, walking may be vigorous enough to trigger improvements in your VO2 max score.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a fast and effective way to increase VO2 max. Try doing an interval training workout several times per week, interspersed with slower, longer-duration activities if you are able to do so.
Switch up your workout routine. Your body is constantly adapting. If you were primarily a swimmer, consider cycling instead. If you usually train at a slow, steady pace, ramp things up. If you usually work out for 30 minutes, add 10 minutes to your routine if you are able to do so. All of these changes force your body to work harder to adapt.
Lose weight- relative VO2 max is measured relative to your weight, simply losing weight can boost your VO2 max.
i hope that this is helpful.
