Fitness Assessment

Can you climb two flights of stairs without panting for breath? Do you climb down stairs without holding on to the railings? Can you rise from a low chair without needing your hands to support you? Can you untie a shoe while balancing yourself on one foot? Can you lift a carry-on suitcase into your overhead luggage compartment? Can you get to do heavy household jobs without feeling distress the next day? Can you get down and get up from the floor without strain? When walking with a healthy friend of even age, do you keep up? Can you reach all parts of your body, that need to be reached for dressing, grooming or for personal hygiene? Do you have the energy and stamina to enjoy life, to dance at a wedding or to play volleyball at a picnic without resigning yourself as a mere spectator? Submit
