– The feeling in the shower is pretty hard to beat

“There are several reasons why I exercise. Here are the top three:
1) It clears my head.
2) It will probably help me live longer.
3) The feeling I have in the shower after a good exercise is pretty hard to beat!;)”
Lasse Berre, Norwegian photographer

– Exercise gives me energy

“My two main reasons for exercising are. Firstly, I would like to spend as much time of my life as possible with my children. To be able to do that, I need to take good care of myself, and at the same time serve as a healthy role model for them integrating sports and play into their childhood upbringing. Secondly, exercise gives me energy, balance and cam. I simply function better when I exercise”

Kent Roger Tangvik, participant in the TV show “71 grader nord”

Overwhelming response to the fitness calculator

Last Thursday, our fitness calculator was presented in NY Times Well Blogg (What’s your ‘Fitness Age’?) Since then, over 1 mill people has visited the calculator online to check out their fitness age. And, the brand old news (the calculator was launched 2 years ago) has spread to more than 150 international media, e.g. Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Mail. We are totally overwhelmed over this massive attention, and this truly inspires to further dissemination of our research in public.

My mailbox is full of questions from people all over the world who wants to know more about fitness age, what this means for them, and many practical details on how to use the calculator. Individual response is challenging, and in a short time we will answer frequently asked questions here on the blog and at our webpage. You may also find some answers in this article about fitness numbers.

Satisfied over your fitness age – or disappointed and a little bit embarrased? Whatever result you got from the calculator, we hope it inspires to carry on with an active lifestyle!
