What to study

Desired Outcome

VO2 max is a fitness number runners and gym-goers track closely, so a way to boost it is an easy sell. Admitting it's boring makes the promise sound honest. WORKS TOO WELL says the result is almost unfair.

Title

'Blow Up Your VO2 Max' promises a big jump in a number fitness fans track, and 'It's Boring' lowers expectations about fun but not about results.

Remix this

If your topic is an abstract number, turn it into a simple before and after icon of the body part or thing it measures. Pair it with a playful overclaim that suggests the method is almost too effective.
