My doctor told me something like this…” if you can’t get up from sitting on the floor without using your hands, you will be dead in three years.” I told him, in that case I died in gym class in 1962.”
I think this study has been misunderstood. Physical fitness (strength, mobility and balance) is a good predictor of expected lifetime and the sitting rise test tests all of that. If you want to live longer you should work on your overall physical fitness with strength, cardio and flexibility exercises. Not train specifically for this test.
Agree. Classic confusion of causation and correlation. Being able to do this task doesn’t make you “healthy,” but “healthy” people are more LIKEKY to be able to do this task
Yes. Exactly. The cause and the effect. I don't believe someone being able to get up off the floor without using their hands is why they'll live longer, but instead all the work someone has to do to physically achieve that is why they'll live longer.
wow, I should live to be about 150yrs old. At 61yrs, I can still spring up off of the floor in a second without using hands. Really great exercises in this video. I'm going to have to get on to these. As you get older, it is really important to continue to maintain your agility and strength. Once you lose it, it is a lot more difficult to get it back, especially as you get older. My advice, do as this man suggests and keep at it, even just a little bit, it will help you LOTS in the long run.
I’m in my 70s and fully agree with your statement that it’s less about living longer more about living better. I exercise daily, but need to practice getting up off the floor more. Thank you for these tips. 🙏🏻
As a person who started skateboarding at an old age, and a honey doer, I often find myself on the ground. These exercises are perfect, as they'll hep me get back up.
New to this channel. Just stumbled across it today. Will have to watch more of his videos. But as a senior, over 70 yrs old, I'm very careful and mindful how I approach a younger person's ideas and suggestions. I protect my knees at all cost. I'm seeing way too many people my age getting knee and hip replacements. They try to jump right in and do exercises that are not age appropriate. Just go slow and not as low - very important.
Great point! But I wouldn't say that are not age appropriate. No matter your age, you should not be over ambitious about what your body can do in the moment. Go slow, gradual & consistent to strengthen. I see 70 something year old men and women doing better than some 30 year olds BECAUSE they have been consistent with building or maintaining their strength and mobility! Much appreciation for your comment!
@@melissaarchie5686 Why don't you check out Hampton Liu at Hybrid Calisthenics? He has lots of suggestions about how to modify exercises to get you started. I also like Matt Hsu from Upright Health. He ideas around mindset are valuable.
I'm so pleased to read this.... exactly what I think every time I see these "this exercise will change your life/solve your health problems/ make you live longer' videos. 90% hype, and quite possibly dangerous to boot. will be suitable for some, not for others. pretty irresponsible, MY view.
This is fascinating. Now I've never done anything gracefully, but I think I'll work on this nonetheless. Even if I can never get up without hands, this training should be of some benefit.
It will definitely help, even if you cannot fully achieve this. You’ll be increasing resistance and building strength as well as bone density. Movement matters as we age, and movement that is challenging matters even more.
If you google the study, by Brazilian physician Claudio Gil Araujo, it was not an exercise to increase longevity. It is a test to determine potential longevity. Whether using this predictive test as an exercise would increase longevity was apparently not addressed in the study
Great job thanks for sharing. I've been a chiropractor and nurse for 40 yrs and I will tell everyone they need to be going to you for healthcare. I can tell right away you are someone who is dedicated to being the best and helping others to be their best. !!!!
I do this every day. I am 61 and also do a lot of squatting to stand without my hands. I’m a nurse and have seen so many people my age that don’t have the strength to get up if they fall.
I am 66 and can easily get down on the floor and get back up without using my hands, but then I have been going to the gym every week for the last 6 years and walk 15 to 20 kms a week. It doesn't just happen, you have to work at it!
What great advice and what a lovely,supportive guy you seem to be. I have always been fit and flexible but since COVID I have changed. I am going to be 67 this year and walking again and doing, chair yoga and many other RUclips stuff. Best wishes from Australia
Please keep in mind that this video was intended as an informational video to describe ONE interesting research article that circulates within the media from time to time. There are some circumstances in which these exercises are not recommended, for example, hip or knee arthritis. Please check out this video I recently made for safer alternatives: ruclips.net/video/pjGaCdoKicU/видео.html. Also, keep in mind that working with a physical therapist, chiropractor, or personal trainer is your best option to stay safe and make progress.
Great video. 69 and despite being super fit in mid sixties I was couldn't do this. During the pandemic stopped going to the gym and started doing floor exercises. I then suddenly one day I realised I had the strength to do stand. I minimal equipment but always picking up tips and tricks. 3x 30 minutes of floor exercises weekly plus walk run cycleOWswim. I have learnt so much. Learnt new exercises from video 🎉😅
Very interesting. Reminds me of a study here in Switzerland, where they equipped a group of patients who were recovering with low beds, instead of the normal special high beds with easy entry. And these recovered a lot better. Getting up from an uncomfortable position requires the use of many muscle groups.
I’m in my late 60’s; been in gyms since the early 1980’s…however I use my hands to get up and it’s not all that difficult. I have arthritis in one of my knees due to a bad fall. Therefore this won’t be happening for me at all.
Great video! About 2 years ago my daughter was making fun of the noises I made getting up off the floor. She didn't even know how to talk yet. The 90/90 hip switching helped a lot!
Thank you for the reminder of how children conquer challenges!! I needed to hear that and your exercises will help me get back to what I could do before I injured my knee.
I’m really glad I saw this post last January 9th I got T K R left leg I’ve lost 34 lbs total and still struggling this is what I need more exercise 😅 thank you I’m 63 years old male
Excellent tips. I will definitely try them. Like any exercise technique, start slow, adapt to your own fitness level and do it persistently. Just move = fitness.
I am blown away. I am 69 and teaching g a class of seniors the same type of exercises that work on the same 3 principles. My participants are all over 70 but are semi active in good health. I look forward to following your videos.
I like this video, nice to see a red headed Irishman with pasty white skin, like me. I'm in my early sixties, love my job, my life as a mom & Grandma! This has made me realize how terribly out of shape I've become, 😢 and that makes me sad. I'm going to try getting down on my not so clean floor, and give these a try. Thanks for the inspiration! For all you Naysayers out there, he did show us a way to get on the floor and start there, just rocking back & forth. I think we can try!
I totally concur regarding your observation of a handsome redheaded Irish man. However I think the word pasty is a negative. Having white skin as he has is aesthetically beautiful. To my artistic eye it is incredibly sensuous. Think of those beautiful marble statues or Alabaster.
Wow, this is amazing, never thought of that, good exercise to do & doesn't hurt to practice getting up from floor w/out using your hands/arms, once will never know what can happen, good to be proactive, TY so much for this video!!!!!
At your age you don't know what arthritis is. It takes an act of Congress to get me off the floor. I am 69. In the process of reflooring two bedrooms I have been up and down constantly for a week. Have to stop occasionally to let pain pass. I have to use my hands to get off the floor.
Say the fitness gurus who can not get up from the floor. Anything to not. Even one commenter says that makes sense. Sure anything but…I hear you. Thank you for all of your efforts!
Hi Jeff, that technique at around 3 minutes looks great. I'm 73 and I always have to use my hands, its very embarrassing. I will try this and practice it
I was able to sit cross legged on the floor and stand without using my hands into my early 50’s until a herniated disk enucleated and lodged into the nerve root leading to my right leg. I had complete numbness and no reflexes and it took 5 days to have surgery. I still have partial numbness, some muscle atrophy on that leg as well as some foot drop. I had months of weakness in that leg prior to the herniated disk but medical staff told me to exercise more. Two more back surgeries with hardware and I am resigned to having to get up by leaning forward and getting on my hands and knees to push off. I work hard to stay flexible and as strong as possible and have to adapt. I have visitors who can’t climb the 8 stairs to the front door or the 24 stairs from the back door to ground level in the backyard because of the hill we live on and many are overweight and sedentary who are younger than my 66 years so feel that they are going to have difficulty as they age.
Being able to get up without hands is a good exercise and a good sign of health if you can do it as I can at 70 years old even being 20+ pounds overweight but just practicing getting up off the floor with or without hands is a vital exercise if you cannot do it with ease
Hey, Sometimes I can do amazing things with my legs and balance and other times I don't. I survived cancer and chemo with a few after effects but that doesn't stop me from improving every day! I doubt I can perform this trick, but it doesn't keep me up at night worrying about it! If I have to turn around and get on my knees to get up off the ground or grab a stair rail to rise from a stair step, I figure that is fine and dandy! I am over 70 and in good health.
Thank you for this video, it's extremely helpful. I like the analogy when encouraging us don't give up & reminding us of the process a child goes through when learning to walk. And, I agree with you that the goal is to live a well functioning life as opposed to a longer life.
Excellent, just let me add that those cross -legged sitting -downs and standing-ups do help strengthen the knee ligamen, thus avoiding or delaying s to avoid meniscus problems. .. Yet, both a physicianś advice and in the beginning the help of hands is preferred, too. Paul, 68 retired instructor of Karate
I feel good about being able to get up off of the floor in any way possible and can do it pretty well using both of my hands. Thanks for the video, I'm going to work on building some strength.
I think, as you age, more muscles stiffen due to lack of use. So the suggestion is a good one. I am 65. Found myself needing to use my hands to get up from a chair. Some exercising later, this has changed. It's a lifestyle issue.
I think it is true in a correlative way but not in any way which would lead to situation where practicing this would make you live longer. I think it's just good for us generally to do these exercises anyway because they will improve quality of life and will reduce risk of injury.
They say every airplane landing you can walk away from was a good one. That is how I feel about getting up from the floor. As long as I can get up, I'm happy. These exercises would be hard for a teenager...never mind a senior citizen like myself.
The point of this video is to help you gain strength so that you do not have to rely on something to grab on to. What if you are alone and fall in the middle of the floor or out on a walk? You would be helpless.
Yes. Such a good idea to practice with a yoga block. Enjoyed your impressive piston squats. Thank you Going to watch this in more detail and use it to improve by ability. New sub.
I've done easy, beginners yoga for about 3 years, as have a number of back, neck, Fibromyalgia complaints. It certainly helps, but for me I just do easy flow, beginners, stretch type yoga. Also instead of sitting on a sofa, get a bean bag, that means every time you stand you are working muscles meantioned in this video. I'm nearly 60.
Thank you. This exercise has helped me to get up off the floor without hands which I am now doing in my pilates class. I'm 71. Do you have a similar exercise to help me do sit ups which I cannot do and have never managed over 20 years of pilates and tai chi. i don't even know which muscles I'm supposed to be using. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Many thanks.
Fabulous! My weak point. Hip mobility..! Wish I could sit straight on my bottom on the grass when picknicken like the others.. I could use there also some advice, teach!
Love it I start my day coffee sitting on the floor (stretch hamstrings/calves) find getting up with my hands tedious The windshield wiper !!! Yes💥 Thank you so much Whodda' thunk ?? 🤪
You don't live longer by doing that. Just means you are healthier if you CAN do that. Like grip strength. Improving your grip strength isn't going to make you live longer, just that weak grip strength could signal that something could be wrong. If you can't get off the floor without using your hands, you probably are out of shape and/or have health issues.
I'm only 39 and I can absolutely not get up from the floor without using my hands, not even if I sit on a yoga block 😅 I'm obese so that might be part of the reason. I'm currently losing weight and I'll add the exercises from the end of this video to my routine. Curious to see if I'll be able to do it in a few months!
I'm 55 and in fairly decent shape, and can still stand up in that manner, but it does put a little bit of pressure on my ankles now that I didn't feel when I was 25.
I don’t know if I should try some of those things I have two artificial hips! I can’t roll onto my back it was surgically broken and fused! Good luck and God bless everyone ❤
My mother is 74 and has lost her ability to get off the floor. The paramedics had to come get her up recently when she fell. Just last week she asked me to help her get out of a chair and I said no. Before you think I’m heartless, I knew she could get up, she just didn’t like that it was challenging. My genuine concern is that being helpful in the short term would actually be unhelpful in the long term. I told her that not only would I not help her, she needs to practice getting out of a chair more every day, not less.
I doubt the ability to get up from the floor hands free will increase your lifespan. There are a thousand factors that affect lifespan. But improving your strength and agility will improve the quality of your life.
I definitely can't do the 1st one or Asian squat. Hip switch looks possible using momentum. I need to start some basic fitness 55, 260lb, prehypertension. It doesn't help that one last back flexibility because of scoliosis and it seems when i start exercising something starts hurting or work gets crazy.
i had 16yrs of weekly iron injections in my buttocks ,and they have remind tight ever since ,i was also given one by nurse outside the 5 finger span which caused tremendous pain and swelling around the tail bone ,although this was sometime ago i think long term damage was done ,i later had a hysterectomy which left me with a virus which lead to fibromyalgia iv not been able to get down on the floor let alone up since mid 40s , if a fall thats where i stay in pain until someone helps me up , since the menopause its been a lot worse , i hate feeling so weak and old . but i struggle with so much pain . in my knees and my tail bone . not to mention the fibro pain

Great Video. Very helpful to us all as we get older.
This is great advice! I can't wait to practice and see some results
All great videos , finally i found exercises that i am going to follow
They say every airplane landing you can walk away from was a good one. That is how I feel about getting up from the floor. As long as I can get up, I'm happy. These exercises would be hard for a teenager...never mind a senior citizen like myself.
Thank you. These are the exercises I needed to know about. ❤
70 here and I need to add this to my morning routine...grateful
Wonderful!
Glad I came across this video. Thanks!
WOW really great video, pleasant tone, nice pace and fast paced content.
Glad you liked it!
As an old guy, I'm thankful to be able to use tools to get up off the floor. Like anything that's around to grab a hold of!
The point of this video is to help you gain strength so that you do not have to rely on something to grab on to. What if you are alone and fall in the middle of the floor or out on a walk? You would be helpless.
These exercises are great for most levels of leg and core strength because going all the way up and down in a pistol squat is pretty badass.
Start slow and take it from there. Thank you for such an amazing video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes. Such a good idea to practice with a yoga block.
Enjoyed your impressive piston squats.
Thank you
Going to watch this in more detail and use it to improve by ability.
New sub.
80y/o. I don’t think I have ever gotten off the floor without hands.
On the other hand. It would be good practice, in a safe area, to work on balance.
I"m going to say ,falls are worse and happen more often to us than we say.. All good staying limber as we age w/ these stretches and moves, all good..
Good exercises! Going to subscribe to see what's next!
This was good...being an oldie, I found the info useful & made good sense...thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've done easy, beginners yoga for about 3 years, as have a number of back, neck, Fibromyalgia complaints. It certainly helps, but for me I just do easy flow, beginners, stretch type yoga. Also instead of sitting on a sofa, get a bean bag, that means every time you stand you are working muscles meantioned in this video. I'm nearly 60.
If i sat in a bean bag i would have to roll onto the floor to get up. 😂
@@woodstream6137 Yeah, it can be a challenge at times. 😊
Thank you! Wow, I have never seen most of these movements before.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good strategies!
Thank you. This exercise has helped me to get up off the floor without hands which I am now doing in my pilates class. I'm 71. Do you have a similar exercise to help me do sit ups which I cannot do and have never managed over 20 years of pilates and tai chi. i don't even know which muscles I'm supposed to be using. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Many thanks.
Fabulous! My weak point. Hip mobility..! Wish I could sit straight on my bottom on the grass when picknicken like the others.. I could use there also some advice, teach!
Really good stuff, Jeffrey. Thanks much!
Glad you liked it!
I can definitely sit on the ground without using my hands! Does it have to be a smooth landing?
Love it
I start my day coffee sitting on the floor (stretch hamstrings/calves)
find getting up with my hands tedious
The windshield wiper !!! Yes💥
Thank you so much Whodda' thunk ?? 🤪
You don't live longer by doing that. Just means you are healthier if you CAN do that. Like grip strength. Improving your grip strength isn't going to make you live longer, just that weak grip strength could signal that something could be wrong. If you can't get off the floor without using your hands, you probably are out of shape and/or have health issues.
I'm only 39 and I can absolutely not get up from the floor without using my hands, not even if I sit on a yoga block 😅 I'm obese so that might be part of the reason. I'm currently losing weight and I'll add the exercises from the end of this video to my routine. Curious to see if I'll be able to do it in a few months!
I wish that someone who was at least 80 years of age demonstrated these moves. Then I would be impressed.
Try these instead. ruclips.net/video/JpzupyoFQ5E/видео.html
I'm 55 and in fairly decent shape, and can still stand up in that manner, but it does put a little bit of pressure on my ankles now that I didn't feel when I was 25.
I’m 73, and can do this without using knees or elbows, just feet and butt. So I’ll probably live forever. Lol
I don’t know if I should try some of those things I have two artificial hips! I can’t roll onto my back it was surgically broken and fused! Good luck and God bless everyone ❤
My mother is 74 and has lost her ability to get off the floor. The paramedics had to come get her up recently when she fell.
Just last week she asked me to help her get out of a chair and I said no. Before you think I’m heartless, I knew she could get up, she just didn’t like that it was challenging. My genuine concern is that being helpful in the short term would actually be unhelpful in the long term. I told her that not only would I not help her, she needs to practice getting out of a chair more every day, not less.
I doubt the ability to get up from the floor hands free will increase your lifespan. There are a thousand factors that affect lifespan. But improving your strength and agility will improve the quality of your life.
I agree. This video was a response to an article that makes that claim.
Great stuff,thank you
I definitely can't do the 1st one or Asian squat. Hip switch looks possible using momentum. I need to start some basic fitness 55, 260lb, prehypertension. It doesn't help that one last back flexibility because of scoliosis and it seems when i start exercising something starts hurting or work gets crazy.
Pls can you do a video on sit ups from the horizintal position with no hands
You blew me away on the first dip. But good enunciation!
Excellent video, thank you.
It's not causal, it's a result. If you can get up, you are probably in decent shape.
I am 69 years old. I just had a bad fall on concrete a couple days ago. I am for anything that will help my balance.
I agree except if you change your diet and exercise and include this, it certainly can’t hurt. No processed food and stay away from sugar.
Pure monkfruit is not sugar but hundreds of times sweeter yet doesn't raise blood sugars
I’m in my early 60’s and gave myself a uterine prolapse doing sit to stand exercise without using hands. I’m very cautious now.
i had 16yrs of weekly iron injections in my buttocks ,and they have remind tight ever since ,i was also given one by nurse outside the 5 finger span which caused tremendous pain and swelling around the tail bone ,although this was sometime ago i think long term damage was done ,i later had a hysterectomy which left me with a virus which lead to fibromyalgia iv not been able to get down on the floor let alone up since mid 40s , if a fall thats where i stay in pain until someone helps me up , since the menopause its been a lot worse , i hate feeling so weak and old . but i struggle with so much pain . in my knees and my tail bone . not to mention the fibro pain
