What's making your RealAge younger or older...

Shed extra weight.

We calculated your body mass index (BMI) to be 30.6.
BMI is a measure that represents the relationship between your weight and your height. It gives us a good start when estimating health risks, but it doesn't tell the whole story. What's missing is how much fat you have, relative to your overall weight, and where that fat is on your body. Read more.

Follow a weight loss program you can stick with. If you’re already shedding pounds, keep up the good work.

Keep up the cardio.

Keep moving and get stronger.

Do more strength-building exercises.

Maintain your current heart rate.
