Did You Take Healtbolt’s ‘Vitality Compass’ Challenge?
Earlier this week Liberty and I took the Vitality Compass quiz to see where we sit in the longevity stakes.
But then we asked ’why should we have all the fun’. So we issued a Healthbolt Vitality Compass Challenge.
Here’s the brave souls who took up the challenge and not only completed the Vitality Compass quiz but also shared their results with us…
Lisa from Best Health Magazine found that she is 6 years younger that her real age.
A’Lyn is 4.4 years younger.
Alicia from Mental Health Notes is 4 years older…but she explains, with good reason.
ME, with a life expectancy of 97, will outlive all of us.
Steph declared she was in the blue but thinks she could definitely do better. (BTW: love the blog title – waiting for my real life to begin)
Gabrielle from Fertility Notes, like many of us, took the quiz not once but twice and discovered large variations in the results.
Gabrielle also threw in a link to an online longevity game posted by an insurance company.
And last, but not least, Leisureguy weighs in but then decides that maybe it’s not that accurate and wonders if he might do better next year.
I don’t know about anyone else but I found the Vitality Compass quiz ‘food for thought’. It might not be all that accurate but it does make you consider your life choices in regards to health, fitness, diet, and exercise.
Now I’m throwing out the Healthbolt Challenge gauntlet to…
Crabby and Merry over at Cranky Fitness
Mark and Worker Bee at Mark’s Daily Apple
Trisha from Ideas for Women
The gang over at That’s Fit
and anyone else who wants to give it a go…
Just took it—-6 years younger than my biological age and “predicted” to live till I’m 96.5, which is a good thing considering I need to be around for my son! Thank for the tip.
Hey Kristina, glad to see you took the challenge…looks like your doing things right – you even beat me on the longevity scale…
I came in at 27.5; 10 years younger than my biological age. Sadly, I get dinged for not eating whole grains. But, I’m gluten intolerant, so it’s not an option. I demand a recount! =:-D
I just took the challenge and am happy to say I am a full 5 years younger than my actual age and am expected to live 95 years. 95 years! Is that all?! I’m shooting for 120+. I’m with jorn. I demand a recount!
I know I need to do this! I need to follow up on the other posts you did about this too. That will be on my list for tomorrow!
Thanks for the compliment! I actually stole the title from a Colin Hay song though haha
Love the blog, keep it up!
Hi jorn, even with the gluten intolerant thing not being added to the equation, looks like you came out pretty good – most of us were only 4 – 6 years younger than our real age….so what’s your secret ? Spill!
Worker Bee – you only aiming for 120 ??? Should be living on Mars by then…95 ain’t too bad but I guess it depends on how many years are the healthy years.
Thanks for playing the game…
Hi Trisha, I know that ‘to do tomorrow list’….mine has more things on it that my longevity age…
Hi Steph, afraid I don’t know Colin Hay songs — will blame it on living in New Zealand…will have to google and learn.
I took the challenge! My life expectancy is 94! I was hoping for 100 though! Details and comments on my blog tomorrow morning at: http://tinyurl.com/3jl8bz – at least I think that is correct and maybe viewable now – I have the post set to be published in the morning.
