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!

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
Watch ya coccyx on the way down, sis.

The goal is to go from standing to sitting on the floor and standing again without any assistance from your hands. Here's how to do it:
Start standing and give yourself 10 points.

I'm confused.
What position do you start out from?
