At its core, fitness is about how you feel and about the quality of your life. And
how do you feel? When you get up in the morning? When you walk your dog? When you
carry groceries up the stairs? Are you full of energy or do you wish someone would
tie your shoes for you? Whatever your answer, that’s your fitness talking.
And how you feel on a daily basis foreshadows your future health. Whether you consume
cheeseburgers or wheatgrass, enjoy the television or the track, your daily habits
determine how fit and healthy you’ll be in the future.
There are significant health benefits associated with being physically active and
physically fit. These include a reduction in risk for many diseases such as coronary
heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis, and certain
types of cancer. Many negative consequences of aging are also reduced by maintaining
an active lifestyle. For example, age-related declines in muscle strength can be
positively modified by participating in a regular exercise program. Improvements
in mental health have also been reported following participation in a regular physical
activity program.
Research supports the relative importance of physical activity in reducing risk
for chronic conditions and diseases that ultimately affect your quality of life.
To illustrate this, let’s look at just four of the many studies that support this
critical link.
Diabetes
Depression
Cancer
Cognition
Yes, being fit and active and leading a healthy lifestyle that includes regular
physical activity is important. We could go on and on with examples of other diseases
and conditions that are positively affected by an active lifestyle, but you get
the picture. The best approach to take is to see how you compare to others of similar
age and gender with regard to fitness and lifestyle. You can do this by taking our
test!
If you receive high scores in all test areas, you probably lead an active lifestyle.
Do you have a high level of cardiovascular fitness, but score low on flexibility?
This is what you are about to find out.
If you are curious about your fitness for a better quality of life in the future,
you’ll want to assess your current condition using our scientifically valid method
of diagnosis. It’s fun, quick, and based on statistically valid data collected by
researchers from large population studies. When you receive personal scores after
completing our test, they’ll always be explained in the context of your age and
gender – this is particularly important so that you make the appropriate steps toward
improvement.
