About The Course

This is an easy 6 test framework which assesses your ability to perform everyday activities like personal care, shopping, and housework, and requires the ability to perform functional movements, such as walking, stair climbing, and standing up. These movements, in turn, are dependent on having sufficient strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance. This series of tests measure these parameters using functional movement tasks, such as standing, bending, lifting, reaching, and walking. Take this test every few months to monitor your progress as you exercise here in the Academy. Download the worksheet in the right column and watch each video to learn how to perform the individual tests. These tests work better if you have a helper to count and measure to keep you honest during the test. Good Luck! Men will need an 8 pound (3.6kg) weight Women will need a 5 pound (2.3 kg) weight A ruler for measuring flexibility in arms and legs Masking tape to mark the wall and floor for step test and up and go test
