So it’s my turn to report my results from the Vitality Compass Quiz, and let me tell you, I was not anxious to take that thing at first. I figured you’d have to be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger or Jessica Alba to score even decently on it, but after reading Liz’s results, I was encouraged. A real person who does not spend the bulk of her day in a gym and who probably noshes on a carb or two once in a while? If Liz could score well, so could I, right?
Well, turns out Liz is on track to last a bit longer than I’m predicted to, but I’ll still live a long life it seems. Naturally, by kicking up my fruit and veggie consumption and actually removing my rear form this chair to sneak in some exercise, I can add more years to my life. Hmm. I can do that. I need to do that.
So here are my numbers, and I encourage you to share yours as well. If you’re up for taking our challenge, we’ll give your blog a shout-out at the end of the week, if you have one.
Okay, here we go:
Biological Age: 27.5 (real age, almost 32)
Life Expectancy: 92.4
Healthy Life Expectancy: 84.7
Blue Zone Years: 10.4
Overall, I’m pretty pleased. But I know I have plenty of work to do. With just a little commitment on my part, I can nudge that number up and up. I’m game. Are you?
Liberty, the numbers look good. Funny you should mention the gym…I was just checking one out this morning…winters coming first here in NZ and soon will be too cold/wet for outdoor walking as far as I’m concerned.
