I think it is good to check the prostate at and after 40, not 50. They need to do a full CBC checking everything in your blood. Most tells them how all your organs are functioning. An EKG isn't bad just to begin developing a baseline for the future. Of course, they listen to everything inside. A stress test isn't needed but a lot of quality gyms have people on staff that can do this for you just to help you understand where to work your heart when you're doing cardio. Most people overwork, which does no good, and also do cardio without a heart monitor and so don't really know what they are doing to measure activity and results.
