8. “Without using hands,” quickly stand up from the “Awaza” position.
This is another simple test to assess your health based on your body balance. First, sit cross-legged on the floor. From there, try to stand up quickly, without putting your hands and knees on the floor, and without using any recoil. This is an excellent way to measure your overall muscle strength, joint softness, and sense of balance all at once. If you can’t do it smoothly, and you end up on your hands or off balance, the data suggests that your future health risks are slightly higher. This is a test of the true strength of your legs and feet, so please try it with care and take it easy.
