According to this test, I have a great chance

of living another 6 years. I scored a 9 and am 73 years old.

1. Good for you!

I'm 73 have two arthritic knees and one arthritic hip. The thought of just sitting like that makes me cringe!

2. If that

was an accurate test, I should have been dead 40+ years ago.

3. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

4. Here is a video displaying it. Don't do it with hip or knee issues. I have a bad ankle that needs

a replacement, ultimately, so not easy for me, but I can do it. Remember the same may well be true if you have a bad joint and are 20 years old, so, while useful, it isn't necessarily measuring the same thing for everyone.

5. Whelp, I'm screwed!

6. For those who have difficulty, this video (half-way through shows how to improve your ability)

7. It's cute, but it's not entirely accurate

When I was in my early 20s, I once saw someone get up from the floor without putting their hands on the ground, and I thought, What the hell! How does he do that?!

I've never been able to get up off the floor (and I meditate on the floor every night, so it's not for lack of practice) without using at least one knee and one hand.

If this test were accurate, I probably wouldn't have lived to 30.

8. The best indicator,

I think, is how long your parents lived. That’s not perfect either, just one of many.
