Can you do this sit and rise exercise? It's harder than it looks. Most won't be able to do this.

While in the standing position, cross your legs and proceed to sit down. And from the sitting position, rise up into the standing position. Try not to use your hands to sit or rise. I have trouble doing it myself...usually, I need a hand on the ground. Meg did it hands-free. Here's the link on the article:

Have fun with it. --Curt

      Pauline, it's really really hard. Initially, I couldn't get back up without using one hand on the ground. And, I expect to live at least another 20 years.

      Yutaka-san. Since you're in excellent shape, were you able to sit and rise without using your hands?
