Can you do the sit-to-stand test?

Okay so I guess it works like this???
You're sitting on your bottom with legs crossed. Then you move your feet to straight ahead of you while you're still in a sitting position. And then you hold your arms out in front of you and use your core, thighs and arms for balancing without touching the floor to get to the standing position?
That's the only way I can imagine it happening.
And then to go from the standing position to sitting on your bottom crossed legged would take a lot of control, otherwise you'd just plop down right on your ass. -

Here we go, lol
Researchers designed a fitness test to predict longevity. Could you pass it?

Yah, that's it!
With funny comments under the video:

There's a technique to it. After you get down and you're sitting like an "Indian", then try to turn one of your knees around so you get into "take a knee" / "Colin Kapernick" position and you'll be able to get up from there with ease.

That's not a "technique" that's cheating lmao.

Someone didn't understand the assignment.

that's exactly my thought. Using a knee costs you one point. the goal is 8 or higher. Why take a risk when you can have stability? That's the hidden longevity in the test…are you sane enough to not hurt yourself needlessly?
The whole article connected to the video is a good read too!
