What’s Your Real Age?
At a networking event I attended recently, Grant Gamble, senior vice president of ACAC Fitness and Wellness Centers, talked about finding your real age. His point was that relationships with people are good for your health and are as important to your longevity as exercise, diet and safety. Relationships, both personal and professional, virtual and in-person, are important to your sense of well-being, your self-esteem and your mental health.
Gamble said a visit to Real Age told him that while his chronological age is 45, his real age is 39. Gamble obviously takes exceptional care of himself.
I visted the site and entered all the information I had at hand (I have no idea what my cholesterol level or blood pressure is). Not surprisingly, my real age is slightly older than my chronological age (I blame stress), something I’ll have to pay attention to in the coming years. I’m just glad to find out I’m not “really” 85.
What’s your real age? It only takes a few minutes and you can skip the registration. If you do it, leave your numbers in the comments.

I did that once a while back and discovered that my real age is about 7 years younger than my chronological age.

Calendar age: 34.2
“Real” age: 26.6
I’m gonna live forever. Baby, remember my name.

MJ,
Let’s just say if I was truly the age that RealAge says I am, it would be illegal for me to work with you due to child labor laws.

Oh good lord you people. I feel so old and unhealthy. I have one foot in the grave compared to you guys. The site says they can help me get younger in 90 days. That doesn’t sound like any fun. Of course, Brian, I happen to know you are dancing your way to good health and Susan, you’re the workout queen so maybe I need to get off this chair a little more often. SIGH. At least I FLOSS daily.
