I have just finished watching this program on BBC1 and found it very informative and motivating, focussing on the link between having a healthy lifestyle and ageing.

After watching it I wonder what my body age might be? I have not heard of this meassurement before...

Hi heard a glimpse of it as I turned the TV off last night - but didn't take much notice

I wonder if other forum members watched it?

I have never heard of a body age before either :)

Brilliant show, very interesting and informative. Hope they do another to catch up on how participants are fairing further down the line.

I caught a bit of this the other day, quite scary really. I'm sure when we first bought the Wii that you could work out your body age on that. Not so complex of course. The more exercise you did on it the lower your body age became.

Would be good to see how the participants get on.

I might just have to get the Wii set up again ready for the dark winter months :)

It's to do with how old your body is not your birth age,they can be years apart for various reasons such as lifestyles and illness.

Wasn't really thinking when I wrote that Gary, of course the Wii is based on your birth age, it couldn't really work out your body age could it lol.

Think I'm glad I don't know mine, would be scary. I suppose it would make us try harder though.

I watched this programme, wish I could do the tests. One of the ladies featured was suffering with stress and she was taught a method for relaxing called 'mindfulness'. I was told about this method after suffering a heart attack earlier this year and I have to say it does help you relax.

Sorry to hear about your heart attack Jenever x x

Thanks Cracker, I'm fine now but it certainly pulled me up by the bootstraps and made me re-evaluate life and what's important.

I watch this too, it is quite scary to see what happens to your body. This programme shows just how being overweight or unfit, can affect your whole body. It makes me way to move more. Even people who are relatively slim had massive fat percentages. Amazing!!
