HEALTH AND FITNESS CHECKUP

 

The Health and Fitness Checkup is designed to provide regular folks with a good idea of how fit and healthy they are. The benefits of being fit and healthy are legion. Click here if you want to find out what they are.

 

Give yourself a score out of ten, appropriate for your performance on each of  the 9 questions below. A good score is a high score. A poor score is a low score.

 

The pass-mark of 7/10 on each item is readily achievable by people who keep themselves in good shape, at least up to the age of 70. Tick the box on the far right of the table if you score 7/10 or more. Place a cross in the box if you score less than 7/10.

 

Multiply your score for each item (based on the rating of importance of the item to your over-all health and fitness) to your score.
