5 Of The Best Exercises, You Can Do To Identify The Age Of Your Body

Last Updated on June 14, 2018

We are all, without exception, born with an innate and natural flexibility that allows us to easily move and split without having to make great efforts!

Certainly, you can remember how you used to put your legs over your head when you were a kid as if it was the easiest thing in the world, but with time, this becomes harder and even impossible for some people. That’s very simply because this natural flexibility starts to decrease due to many factors, including age and the unhealthy lifestyle.

We invite you to accept this challenge and click on next to test your amount of flexibility and also identify the age of your body!

#1 – Test Your Shoulder Joint Flexibility

To test your shoulder joint flexibility, all you need is to take the same position shown in this particular picture. Remember to keep your spine straight and make sure that all your body muscles are relaxed.

Now if you find this exercise :

– A piece of cake: We congratulate you! You are a young person and you are doing just well!

– A bit challenging but still you did it: That’s still good. It means that your shoulder joints are still flexible but require more practice and physical training.

– Vey difficult: you are more likely to develop frozen shoulder symptoms in the future. Try to carefully and slowly grasp your elbows with your palms and then place them behind your back. Try to remain in this position for few minutes.

#2 – Test The Flexibility Of Your Spine

Again Try to do exactly the same thing you see in the picture and see how well you can do it.
In case, you are (not) able to :

– place your whole palm on the floor: What a great achievement! You must be no more than 25 years old person who is always active and healthy.

– Only reach the floor with the fingers: That’s also good! At least you are able to reach the floor even if with fingers! But, you still need to practice more and find time to regularly work out.

– Not able to touch the floor: it is definitely not something to be proud of! Your biological age is older than your official age. You really need to get out of that sofa and hit the gym!

The flexibility of both your shoulder girdle and the front part of your neck can be determined by how well you do this exercise and how easy it is for you to do it! In case you :

– Find it easy: that’s really good as this means that your body is highly energetic and full of life. You must be that kind of person who never neglects the importance of exercise !keep on walking on the same path.

– Difficult and you couldn’t touch the heels: Not being able to do this simple exercise can tell us a lot about your physical ability. You are definitely not a teenager and you certainly must practice more to improve your flexibility!

#5 – Test The Flexibility Of Your Knee Joint

This exercise should be a piece of cake if you are young or an active person. However, if you are still not sure about the physical age of your body, then, feel free to test its flexibility!

All you need is try to exit the push-up posture so that you will find it easy to perform ‘’letter A ‘’ posture. Good luck!

Keep in mind that after 30 years old, this exercise might be a bit challenging as you will find it hard to remain in such position without bending your elbows, knees, and back!

– Successful: that’s very good news. You are young and strong!

– Not successful: You are probably somebody who doesn’t sport at all and probably around 50 years old!
