30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test
Cross your arms, stand up and sit back down as many times as you can in 30 seconds. Enter your count and compare it with the CDC STEADI norms — the strength-for-mobility check that clinicians run, as a self-test you can repeat monthly.

Method & cautions
Norm cutoffs are the CDC STEADI 30-second chair stand thresholds (below-normal values by age band and sex). This is a fitness self-check, not a medical assessment: dizziness, balance problems, or a count far below your age band are things to raise with a clinician.
