Does Your Birth Certificate Lie?

Greetings all!

Do you feel younger than your birth certificate’s age? Do you think you are in great shape? This 60-second wall sit test will reveal your fitness age.

How to do it:

1. Find a sturdy wall and stand with your back pressed against it.
2. Lower into a squat position until your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle and your thighs are parallel to the ground.
3. Keep your back flat against the wall, feet shoulder-width apart, and hands off your thighs (no cheating!).
4. Start the clock and hold the position for as long as possible—aim for at least 60 seconds.
5. Hold a 10-25 lb weight plate at chest level if you want an extra challenge.

What does it mean:

• Excellent (Fitness Age: 20s-30s): 60+ seconds with ease

• Good (Fitness Age: 40s-50s): 40 to 59 seconds

• Needs Work (Fitness Age: 70+): Less than 20 seconds

• Fair (Fitness Age: 50s-60s): 20 to 39 seconds

So does your birth certificate lie?  😊
