Brad King and Dr. Michael Schmidt in “Bio Age, Ten Steps to a Younger You” (Macmillan, Canada, 2001) have devised a questionnaire for assessing physical damage to a body as a result of no exercise. We will borrow some of their guidelines, which we will summarize here:

Start with the question, “How do I look?” Do any of these answers apply to you?
  Am I overweight, looking like an apple or pear?
  Do I have a spare tire around my waist?
  Has my skin become excessively dry, almost paper-thin?

Next, ask: “How do I feel?”
  Do my joints hurt before or after any physical exertion?
  Am I constantly worried and anxious?
  Do I feel tired and sluggish most of the time?
  Do I suffer from mood swings?.

Last question, “How am I doing?”
  Are simple walking and climbing stairs difficult?
  Do I have problems concentrating?
  Is running impossible for me now?
  Am I unable to sit straight, preferring to slouch or stoop my shoulders?
