In today's lesson, I'll take you through a movement that you can use to test and continue to build your coordination, strength, flexibility, and creativity for your entire body.

This movement was derived from a study done to evaluate whether or not a simple movement screening test could be used to determine a person's mortality risk. The researchers asked over 2000 men and women aged 51-80 years of age to perform a sitting to rising test (SRT) which involves asking the person to sit onto the ground from a standing position and then rise back up to standing.

Here's a link to a video showing the SRT:

I'm not sure if this is the best determination of someone's mortality risk because it doesn't account for things such as genetics, lifestyle, & environmental factors, but I do think it's an easy tool to use to get an idea of someone's general movability.

We're going to use this idea, but also put a little creative twist to it. Instead of just sitting onto the ground, we're going to lay or at least touch a part of our back onto the ground and then come back up to standing. Try it out and comment below to tell us how you do!
