Can you pass the old man test?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I couldn't do that as a kid, teen, 20 or 30 something.
I could just do it in my early 40s after a ton of Pilates, Tai Chi, yoga, weight loss, and touch rugby.
It's a bit out of reach again now, but was horribly out of reach one year ago.
It's unlikely to be out of reach this time next year.

Good work, Nick! Will check back in a year's time (though I'm sure it'll be back sooner than that).
I'm definitely stronger now than I have been at other points in my life - mainly as I'm less complacent and more consistent! |

About 3 feet away from the fence |
Yeah. Pretty easily actually.
I even did it in reverse just for the extra challenge (taking the shoes/socks off one foot at a time).
Maybe it's all this trotting about in heels that makes me good at keeping balance  |

Ha, sorry, mate. I should have added a health warning!

"Ty, Swing, Elderflower, Betty - what a balanced bunch we are on Fab!
J - balance is my thing too! My dreams of making the Olympic Beam final were squashed early in life."
I broke a bone and was told my balance would be fucked forever as a consequence.

Look forward to it YOLO (although the toppling sideways over the TV comment is comedy gold  ). |

"I don't need to try it to know I couldn't do it!
We'll send someone round to catch you, Daizy...
How about they just come round and put my shoes and socks on for me?
I’m happy to do that "
Result!!! |

Try putting a pair of jeans on whilst seated. You're not allowed to use your feet to push down on the floor or to otherwise aid yourself by using the power in your legs to lift your bum off the seat.

"Hello Doctor. A man on an internet swinging site, with a name relating to a German philosopher, suggested I try the activities in *this* video. What do you think?"
Do you reckon a single or double appointment would be required? |
