    When the sixth activity was “roll over”, I had to keep reading to see if the last activity was “play dead”

    Come on, you know you did the same thing!

    Just a random internet remark by a chiropractor served up by google news feed but he maintained that inability to get up from a chair was # 1 thing that put people in nursing homes. Video was about hinging from hips to stand up.

    It’s a bit amusing, because I take a peculiar pride in the fact that I can (now) stand up from a seated position in the couch without using my hands or “launching” myself with momentum. Between sit-up and less weight, it’s just easier. 👍🏻

    What I want is to be able to get up from the floor again without it being a theatrical production. ;-)
