   It would come to approximately 8.2-8.3 METS. For a female, aged 41 years old this puts you at about the 29th percentile. Your VO2 max (which is mL blood per kg of body weight your body can utilize per minute) is about 29mL/kg/min. The median percentile for your age and gender would have been about 32mL/kg/min, which correlates with a METS of about 9.1-9.2, and lasting about 8:10-8:15 on the Bruce test. Overall, your fitness is pretty close to average. Your VO2 max will go up if you weight less and down if you weigh more. This is why as people loose weight their exercise capacity increases and as they gain weight they loose that capacity. Your VO2 max is constant, but if you weigh less kg's the mL's of blood you can utilize each minute goes further.
