  • This is a video challenge that we took part in 2018. Sit. Stand. Repeat.
    This little trick - a deceptively simple measure of flexibility and strength - can predict who will live longer and whose lives will be cut short, according to a study by Brazilian physician Claudio Gil Araujo. He uses the test with athletes, but he also uses it to lay out the stakes with patients: To live longer, they must get moving and maintain muscle and balance.
    So you have to lower yourself from standing to sitting, and then get back up - but without using your hands. When perfectly executed, participants received a score of 10; points were detracted for using hands, unsteadiness, and other factors. As a measure of muscular strength and flexibility, the researchers found that those who had the lowest score (zero to three) had a risk of death that was five to six times higher than those who scored eight to 10 points.
    We all did pretty well and thank our regular training for that.
