The best way to keep yourself young is to keep yourself healthy. And the best way to do that is through a combination of diet and exercise. A new fitness test designed for the baby boomer generation can help adults determine how fit they are and in what areas they need to enhance their physical abilities with exercise.

The test address four different areas of physical fitness:

- Flexibility. If you want your body to work properly then you need to make sure that it can move properly.

- Body composition. Really, you''re not healthy if you''re too fat for your frame.

- Muscular strength and endurance. Healthy muscles help protect all sorts of problems in the body, particularly in the area of body aches and pains.

- Aerobic fitness. Your heart and lungs need you to be able to work well enough to make them work properly.
