Flash back Friday. At age 52, handing out some correction to Canadian army reserve infantry course. Sometimes the guys just need a little tough love to keep them on track.

Cardio is good in your older age, but so is agility. (Don't try this without healthcare advice.)

Blog 1: The Sit-to-Rise Test: What Getting Off the Floor Says About Your Longevity
Intro

Most people think longevity is about how many years you live. In reality, it’s about how well you can move, think and enjoy those years. One of the simplest ways to check your longevity in minutes is the Sit-to-Rise Test.

The Sit-to-Rise Test (SRT)

This test looks at how easily you can get down to the floor and back up without using your hands, knees or furniture.

How to do it

Stand in an open space with bare feet.
Cross your legs loosely.
Slowly lower yourself down to a seated position on the floor without using your hands, arms, or knees for support.
Now stand back up, again without using your hands, arms, or knees.
Have someone watch you, or film yourself, to count how many times you use your hands or lose balance.
Scoring (simplified)

Start with 10 points.
Subtract 1 point each time:
You use a hand on the floor or leg,
You use a knee for support,
You lose balance significantly.
A score of 8–10 suggests good functional fitness and lower mortality risk compared to lower scores. Lower scores show you where to focus your training.

What to do with your results

If your score is:

8–10: Maintain it with regular strength, balance and mobility training.
5–7: Great opportunity to improve. Focus on hip mobility, leg strength, and core stability.
0–4: Time to prioritize safe, guided training to improve strength and balance.
