Most of us judge our fitness by how we look in the mirror, the number on the scales or how quickly we can run a 5K. But according to Exercise Physiologist Carter Bailey, those numbers don't necessarily tell you how well your body is ageing.
The metrics that matter most are often the ones we rarely measure: aerobic fitness, lung function, grip strength and balance. Together, they can provide a surprisingly accurate snapshot of your future health, resilience and independence.
