Stand Up From Sitting Without Using Your Hands — 7 Minutes — Mobility

In fact, the way that you both lower yourself and rise from the floor, a chair, or the toilet indicates a lot about your body. According to Livestrong, relying on your hands to sit and stand may mean that you have limited mobility and flexibility, weak core muscles, or that you need to work on full-body strength. According to Prevention, researchers have argued that one’s ability to sit and stand without their hands can even predict longevity.

If you struggle with this challenge, don’t panic: Patten’s exercises can help you strengthen your muscles to ensure that you feel your best. So clear some space in your living room, press play, and get some quick movement in before (or after) you go about your busy day.
