Celebrities

On the 'Biggest Loser' show in Australia (Episode 27: Raw or straw), shown on 3 March 2009, the contestants did a multi-stage fitness or “beep” test. The results of this was combined with other medical tests to calculate their biological age – their body's age based on lifestyle choices, as opposed to their chronological age. The actual beep test results are unknown, though the announcement of "level 5.4" was heard, with all of them getting past that milestone.
