How old are you? Before you jump to the quick answer—i.e. the one you’ve celebrated every year with a progressively increasing number of candles and cake—know that you have another, even more critical age: your fitness age. How old is your body? Is your body aging slower or faster than you? When someone dies at the age of 80, for instance, are they dying from old age? I don’t think so. It’s probably because of the way they take care of their body.
My kids are 40 something now but 40 years ago, back in the 70s, I told them that they needed to take care of their bodies because with the advancement of medicine they need to be prepared to live until 110 or more. It wouldn’t be much fun if you couldn’t walk anymore or if you were in the doctor’s office every few weeks.
The fitness age was first created by researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, your fitness age takes your respiratory health into account and is made up of different components including your heart rate, waist circumference, exercise routine, and more.

Okay, so why should you even care about the number on your screen? Because it may predict how long you’ll live, the researchers found, to an even better extent than your actual age can. The lower your fitness age is from your actual age, the higher your chances of living a long life. Plus, if you’re not getting the number you want when you plug in your stats, up your exercise—your fitness age can decrease over time.
