  69, been pumping iron since i was 13, also treadmill jog everyday and ride a bike. Getting up off the floor without using a single hand totally impossible. I wish you would have given a demonstration.

  I don’t recall ever getting off the floor without using a hand in the process.

  I couldn&apos;t get up off the floor like that when I was in my 20s. I&apos;m now 71 fit and healthy.

  Amazing that young doctors think that getting up off the floor from a cross legged position is some sort of test for mobility or longevity. They will finally realise when they are older, that getting up from a chair without an &apos;oooomph! is an acheivement. I am 80+ But I can ride horses. My blood pressure is 130/90. And for ten years I have eaten one meal a day(OMAD) and followed a keto way of eating. I have no signs of senility or Altzheimers. And I have just finished a 60,000 word manuscript. So please.. dont tell me i am growing old just because I can&apos;t get up off the floor. Having all of my senses I can find no incentive to be sitting on the floor in the first place.

  I would like to know what percentage of people over 65 can get up off the floor without using a hand or knee. I would bet money it is less than three percent, so not a realistic marker.

  I am a 70 year old woman and can easily get up from a crossed leg position without using my hands, &nbsp;knees (as shown in the video) or pushing off something. Just not coming up directly from the cross legged position. From the cross legged position I swing my left leg to be &nbsp;parallel with my right leg and then get up. I think the video&apos;s pictures are misleading from what he actually says.

  I haven&apos;t been able to get up off the floor like that since I was a kid. I&apos;m 58 now have a plate in my back from surgery. The thought of trying that scares me. My balance is awful!!! I&apos;ll try to work on that. The last 3 I&apos;ve got down. No problems. I mow my lawn and am able to sing at the same time.

  I&apos;m 65 years old now but in my younger days I was a Certified Fitness Instructor with the American College of Sports Medicine. I was also a Certified Life Guard, an Advanced Certified Diver and I&apos;m retired Military. I say all this so you know I&apos;m not talking out my ass. I know a little bit about fitness. All I know is this guy is crazy! Don&apos;t listen to him. His very first example of getting off the floor sitting cross legged and not using your hands is absolutely bullshit! I definitely can&apos;t do it now at 65 but I couldn&apos;t do it at 25 either. If he thinks this is a good test for people over 70, he has no idea what he&apos;s talking about. Don&apos;t listen to him people.

  I&apos;m about to turn 71. Numbers 3, 4, and 5 are no problem for me. Number 2 (balance test) needs some work - no problem with eyes open but need to work on eyes closed, but I&apos;m sure I can get there. &nbsp;Number 1 though is pretty impossible since I can lo longer sit cross legged on the floor. I can get up using only one hand and no knees so I&apos;ll need to be satisfied with that. I was a runner for many years until my &nbsp;knees wore out but still walk an hour a day and ride my bike. &nbsp;This year I finally got serious about weight/resistance training and core strength.

  I don&apos;t think I could get up off the floor as described when I was in my 20&apos;s and in excellent health! I have been fighting knee pain since I was a teenager, and am now 71 (very grateful I haven&apos;t needed a knee replacement yet). However, I do have the other 4 things nailed. Thanks for posting this information.
