Bhagyashree shares fitness tests revealing 'real age', says 90% fail
An actress named Bhagyashree wants to help people find out how old their bodies really are.
She shared a video on Instagram with simple exercises you can try at home.
She says most people, about 90 out of 100, cannot pass her test.
The test checks how well you balance, how bendy you are, and how well your shoulders and breathing work.
For example, can you stand on one leg for ten seconds, or touch your toes?
These skills help us do everyday things like climbing stairs and reaching for things.
A doctor named Dr Vajalla Shravani says these tests are useful hints about how your body is ageing.
She says they cannot replace a full check-up by a doctor.
The good news is that you can get better with practice no matter how old you are.
Exercises like yoga, stretching, walking, and swimming can help keep your body strong and young.
Bhagyashree, an actor and nutritionist, shared an Instagram video of simple fitness challenges that she says reveal a person's 'real age'.
She said 90% of people fail the test, which assesses balance, flexibility, shoulder mobility, posture, and breathing mechanics.
The challenges include balancing on one leg for 10 seconds, touching toes comfortably, the Apley scratch test, and checking that the stomach expands outward when breathing.
Dr Vajalla Shravani, a fitness and pilates expert at Tone30 Pilates, said such tests offer valuable insight into functional age but cannot replace a comprehensive medical or fitness evaluation.
Experts say regular practice of balance, mobility, stretching, breathing, and aerobic exercises can improve functional fitness at any age.

Quotes
Dr. Vajalla Shravani
Fitness and Pilates expert at Tone30 Pilates
“Balance and lower‑body mobility are particularly important because they directly influence independence, fall risk, and the ability to perform daily activities. Research consistently shows that good balance, adequate strength, and mobility are among the strongest predictors of healthy ageing, quality of life, and the ability to remain physically independent in later years.”

“Ninety per cent of people fail this test. Exercise can be done at any age, and your real age is reflected by how fit your body is.”
