Today's workout is a 20-minute walk plus interval training. Not sure how to add intervals into your indoor walking routine? Try this: Walk for one minute around your house, at a moderate pace. Next, march in place at a quicker pace for one minute. Staying in one spot will allow you to speed things up. Repeat this, alternating between a normal walking pace through the house and then a quicker marching in-place. Do this for a total of 20 minutes. |

As a single parent with mental health issues, I've learned that it's best to not sugarcoat or hide problems — and I know my child will be better equipped to help herself than I ever was. |

Longevity isn't just about how long you live — it's also about staying healthy for as much of that time as possible. The "sit to stand" test can be a good way to figure out how healthy you are, and it can even predict how long you'll live, research shows. "It's an indirect marker of your health," says NBC News medical contributor Dr. Natalie Azar, who joined the 3rd Hour of TODAY on March 8 and walked the hosts through the simple test, which some doctors use as an indicator of longevity. How to do the test: - Start standing and give yourself 10 points.
- Sit on the floor crosslegged.
- Stand back up.
- Subtract a point every time you use your hand, knee, forearm, or side of your leg to help.
- If you can sit and stand with no assistance, you scored a perfect 10. If you could not get up at all, your score is zero.
"Eight points or higher is what you want," says Azar. But she points out that there are a lot of things the test doesn't take into consideration. "What if you're fit, but you had an injury?" she says. The test doesn't account for injuries, so either wait until you're healed to try the test, or don't assume your results are the end all be all measure of your health. |
