00:00Hi, I'm Rachel Sachs.
00:01I'm a wellness reporter.
00:02Hi, I'm Patrice Peck.
00:03And I am a wellness editor.
00:04And we're here to compete in the Super H Games
00:07to measure and track how well we're aging.
00:09I'm not looking forward to those assault bikes.
00:12Those are my arch nemesis.
00:15I'm definitely a little wary of the cargo net
00:18and trying to get across that.
00:20But we'll see.
00:20We got this.
00:21Yeah.
00:25All right.
00:28Let's get started.
00:41Once I got through the first one, I was like, OK,
00:45I see the technique I need to do for this.
00:55All right.
00:56OK.
00:56We just go find any two bikes.
01:10Shelly, like, definitely went hard, though.
01:13It did.
01:21I know I got that right.
01:27Do we need to take our shoes off?
01:29Yeah.
01:29OK.
01:30This is my kind of fitness competition.
01:33Nice and slow.
01:42Glad I made it through the two minutes.
01:44Yes.
01:46Well, I guess that's measuring our, like,
01:49cognition at, like, balance.
01:51Balance, yeah.
01:51Yeah.
01:52Or even just, like, with this, like, picking,
01:53how quick we could pick something up.
01:56I'm ready.
02:0810 minutes 30.
02:0910 minutes 30.
02:10OK, 10 minutes.
02:1110 minutes.
02:17I can't even do thumbs up.
02:18Oh, my God.
02:20She set the record for longest hanging so far of the day.
02:23Yes.
02:24Yes.
02:25Hanging from a bar for three minutes and 35 seconds.
02:28Yes.
02:28I think that was it.
02:29Yeah.
02:30That means I'm bringing you any help.
02:32Oh, this one's interesting.
02:33OK.
02:33So I only showed you the example one time, OK?
02:36It's these social situations.
02:38So, like, say you're on your way to meet a friend for dinner
02:40and they cancel at the last minute.
02:43How would you respond?
02:44There's no high score for this trial, necessarily.
02:47It's just kind of being more aware of how you react.
02:51So we're more than halfway through the eight trials
02:53here at the SuperAge Games.
02:55Now we just have two trials left.
02:57We have the net, which is crawling
02:59horizontally across a cargo net, which
03:01measures, like, coordination and stability.
03:05And then we end with measuring VO2 max,
03:08which is carrying a sandbag for four laps around the track.
03:25Woo!
03:27Nice mic here.
03:28Yes, you did.
03:29I'm so proud of you.
03:31I didn't fall through.
03:32You did it.
03:33I'm so proud of you.
03:34All right.
03:35The last leg.
03:36The last leg.
03:37Go to the next, the yellow line.
03:39Yeah.
03:40Let's do the yellow line.
03:41Three, two, go.
03:51Come on.
03:53Come on.
03:53We're finished.
03:56Yeah.
03:57The green.
04:02All right.
04:03So we just finished completing the SuperAge Games,
04:06the world's first longevity fitness competition.
04:09We went through all eight trials that measure how well we're aging.
04:13I think it went pretty well.
04:15I was definitely nervous at the start for some trials more than others.
04:20Yeah.
04:20I thought it was a really good way to measure our functional fitness test.
04:26Typically we see other fitness competitions, people doing like really intense weight lifting
04:31and running.
04:32But this one actually shows that a lot of these skills that we're working on in terms of like
04:38getting over things, getting on our knees, bending down.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Some trials were definitely humbling and also somebody who's a big cyclist and definitely
04:48lift weights, but definitely some of those trials I was realizing, oh, maybe I have some
04:54work to do when it comes to aging well.
04:56So would you do a competition like this?
04:58Would you put your longevity to the test?
