Today’s Challenge – Do the sit to rise test?

We end off with a simple longevity-test which will take you less than a minute to do.

This test is a strong indicator of overall physical fitness, frailty and a predictor for longevity. Achieving a perfect score involves the ability to sit and rise without using hands or knees. If you need to use your hands or your knees first you fail the test. Difficulty completing this indicates a need to focus on lower body and core strength. For many, this is a tough movement to do, so don’t feel bad if you struggle to do it – it’s just a fun exercise-test to end the challenge off with. I would love to see your videos on our closed Facebook page! 😁
