Don't hold your breath waiting for health assessments that measure aspects of fitness to come out of the medical industry; surprising really when it's a big ask expecting to stay healthy without keeping yourself fit.

You can't measure how fit you are using a stethoscope!

The epidemic of poor health rests fair and squarely on the shaky foundation of low levels of aerobic fitness, strength and flexibility (coupled up, of course with a toxic environment, junk food diet and an inability to manage the stresses of life). And yet fitness is rarely, if ever measured.

We've compiled a range of health and fitness tests which will provide you with a good idea of what sort of physical condition you're in, and having done that, we'll direct you to sites where you can find out what you need to do to get yourself into better condition.

The standards we have set are readily achievable for normal fit and healthy human beings up to the age of 70.
