So if you're wondering whether you're doing the right things after 50 for longevity, we've got you covered.

We chatted with Antoine Hamelin, CPT, personal trainer and CEO of First Step Fitness, who shares five telltale signs you're in good shape at 50.

Read on to uncover five telltale signs you're in good shape at 50.

If your doctor remarks on how healthy you are at your annual check-up, or if friends and family regularly comment on how good you look "for your age," this could signal you're in great shape.

You know you're doing something right when your kids or grandkids ask you to chase or play sports with them (depending on their age).

That's because you've kept in good shape since they were little and they know that you might be in your 50s but that you still move like you're in your 30s," says Hamelin.

Hamelin tells us, "If you want to try activities like mountain biking or cross-country skiing for the first time, it's a sign you're in great shape," Hamelin explains.

"If your lifestyle includes eating well most of the time, strength training, and doing cardio most days of the week, you're on the right track," states Hamelin
