What did Bill Perkins say about his health and VO2 max on My First Million?

Bill Perkins named health as the area of his life he is least satisfied with. He said he was around 8% body fat with a top 1% VO2 max when he married, and is now around 16 to 18% body fat with VO2 max near the middle for his age. Using his doctor's Centurion Olympics exercise, he estimates about 80% of the activities he wants in his last decade are out of reach on that path.

• Perkins blames broken sleep with a baby and overeating during the pregnancy, but calls those excuses.
• Perkins has hired another trainer and is considering one who travels with him to keep him accountable.
• Wake surfing is one of the last-decade activities Perkins picked for the exercise.
