    real age test

    http://www.realage.com/index.aspx


    find out what your real age is, according to your health, not your calendar!

    mine is 45 hahahaha (I will be 55 in november)
    biking has had a lot to do with this difference.

    Wow, Mimi, you did really good! I got 33 and I'm 40. I do think they need to tweak the test a little. It said my low resting heart rate went towards the side of making me older. I have a low resting heart rate because I exercise, not because of any heart issues. I would have thought it would have took that into account from my other answers but obviously not.

    It said my real age is 32.1 (I'm 37.2). Pfft, tell that to my ovaries.

    I agree that it's not a very good test, though. The things that are bumping me up are blood pressure -- I have low blood pressure and I said so! And I don't eat enough fats and grains. And I have stress.

    I guess I should be glad that it didn't make me 75.

    are you sure about the low resting heart rate? My heart rate went from 80's to 60's since i started riding harder; and when i put in that 66 my "age" went down immediately (from the last time I took the test)

    low resting heart rate means you have a stronger heart.

    I was 24 and I'm really 28.3.

    I already know I'm doomed to live to be 99. All my maternal grandmothers, greatgrandmothers, great-great grandmothers live into their late 90's or early 100's.

    Hi Mimi

    Well, judging by your avatar, you are doing extremely well!

    Mind you, looking at mine, I really am sagging a bit!

    Just waiting to hear back about what my 'real age' is. I think I put on several years just trying to answer all the questions.

    Have a good weekend.

    I'm 23.6 and I pulled up 15.7!

    O_O WHAT THE ****!!!!!

    That's INSANE!!! I haven't been riding all that long so I can't possibly be that young!! I'm ALMOST 8 years younger than I really am. (yeah... tell that to my face!)

    Although... I do think I'm just a big kid. :P

    My real age is almost 50. The Realage thing put me at 66.5

    Seems to think I should eat fruit. I don't like fruit (except bananas) but I love vegetables and have at least 5 different types with our main meal.

    Probably also because I smoke and I refuse under any circumstances to fall prey to the cholesterol scam.

    I think I'm very healthy (can count on 3 fingers the amount of times I've been ill in the last 20 years, and that was just your average heavy cold/flu) and very active - apart from my born-again cycling, I'm also a dancer and do tap and ballet. I'm also a 1st Kyu Brown Belt in Karate, so I think they've got it a bit wrong. The job I do involves a lot of walking. Keeps me fit

    Never mind, it was fun doing the survey.

    color me surprised!

    I'm 43, but my "real age" is 39.2. I must have made a mistake. People have been telling me I look 40 since I was 28, and they're still always assuming I am my husband's mother. Well, he's always been such a baby face anyway. Interesting test.

    I'm 46.5 with a realage of 40.9. Breast cancer in family was a problem and I don't floss...
