Step 3: See Guidelines for each lifestyle factor evaluating how you are currently doing and making recommendations for improvement.

Step 4: Next Steps – Learn what changes are most important and how many years each lifestyle change makes. Choose one or more key areas you would like to begin working on.

Step 5: View Slide Shows on the topics you want to change. Discover key steps on how to lose weight, start a fitness program, eat more healthfully, get more sleep, cope better with stress, or make other needed lifestyle changes. Get started on the road to better health!

Step 6: Send your report to an AirPrint-enabled printer or your email address.

Take the lifestyle assessment every month or so. Update your weight, exercise minutes, hours of sleep etc. to document how you are improving. As your lifestyle improves, so will your Health Age and Longevity projection. Use Trend Reports to track all of your improvements.
