I was recently contacted by Fitness First
to experience the BioAge test – a series
of ‘tests’, measurements and fitness activities which promises to tell me
exactly how old my body really is! I’ve always been so interested in health and
fitness and love to work out… so I was instantly curious! Was my health and
fitness age older than my actual age?
Well, I found out…
My first appointment to test my BioAge was last week, but I hadn’t trained in a
few weeks so I was concerned in the back of my mind that I would come out with a
BioAge of 101 or OLDER…
Adrianna is the Personal Training Manager at Fitness First George Street in Sydney. She gave me a quick tour of the club
detouring to the change room to drop off my gym bag, before leading me to a
private room where I answered a short questionnaire about my general health,
eating habits, and how I felt about them.
I’m generally really happy with my diet and
fitness but I’ve been away a lot and had a break so definitely felt I would be
needing improvement!
Then Adrianna went ahead and accurately measured
my height, the girth of my waist and took me to stand on a very futuristic
contraption called the InBody, that
measured my entire body from the inside!

Next, we underwent the physical test! It was a little/A LOT harder
than I thought! She tested things like agility, balance, strength, and cardio abilities.
It was tough but I was easy on myself since it was my first session and the
results of the session would be pretty telling!
Once we had finished I headed back at the front desk where Adriana was
already waiting with my BioAge
results…

sweaty and tired but managed a smile!)

So, you guys may know that I’m 24 - turning 25 on December 1 - and my BioAge
was revealed as 25! There’s only a difference of two months, between my
fitness age and my real age! Not bad, I was really happy with my results and I
think I can shave of those 2 months, hopefully more, with some hard work and
dedication.
Stay tuned for more blogs and posts about how I go with lowering
that age! But first, I want to know how do you think your BioAge compares to your real age?
