Do You Know Your Body Age As Compared To Your Biological Age?

Determine Your Body Age With Exercise Tests

This is the exercise assessment to help determine your “body age” as opposed to your chronological age. You can use it and then repeat regularly to monitor your progress as you reduce your body age and feel younger. Now, before beginning any new health regimen, it's important to consult your family physician or health care professional first.

Push-ups: Nothing beats push-ups for testing upper-body strength. As a test lie facedown on floor, legs straight with toes curled under and with your arms bent so palms are flat on the floor directly beneath shoulders. Press up, keeping body in a straight line from head to ankle. Do
as many push-ups in a row as you can with no time limit. The chart below reveals the average range for your age:
Age 20-29: 15-20
Age 30-39: 13-19
Age 40-49: 11-14

Sit-Ups best done in the form of a crunches and can judge whether you have a hard core and stomach muscles. Keep your knees bent, feet flat on the
floor. Your shoulder blades should come up one third of the way to sitting upright. Do as many sit-ups as you can in one minute:
Age 20-29: 42-44
Age 30-39: 33-40
Age 40-49: 29-32

The Wall Sit will reveal how long your legs can hold out whether from crouching or climbing stairs. Begin by standing with your back against a wall, feet hip-width apart about 12 inches away from wall. With feet planted, slide down until knees form a 90-degree angle. Pretend you’re in a chair. Hold as long as you can.
Age 20-29: 60-90 seconds
Age 30-39: 45-75 seconds
Age 40-49: 30-60 seconds

The 1.5-Mile Dash may not be for all as a runner but you can walk it for sure. See how quickly you can get from Point A to Point B. This is not only about leg muscles but also about how aerobically fit you are. Map out a one and a half mile loop at the high school track. Cover the distance as fast as you can by walking, jogging, running, or some combination.
Age 20-29: 12:51 to 14:15
Age 30-39: 13:41 to 15:14
Age 40-49: 14:33 to 16:13

Flexibility Test: Do the sit & reach which is a simple drill that will show how flexible you are. Get some masking tape and a yardstick. Place the yardstick on the floor. Take a foot-long piece of masking tape and place it across the 15-inch mark on the yardstick to form a cross. Sit on the floor with legs extended in front of you, one on either side of the yardstick - with the zero end facing you - so that bare heels touch the 15-inch tape mark. Keep your feet slightly apart and reach forward with both hands, bending at hips, and check mark your fingertips touch. Can you touch two inches past your heels? That means your reach is 17 inches.
Age 20-29: 19-21 inches
Age 30-39: 18-20 inches
Age 40-49: 17-19 inches
