[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]52 and can do quite easily from squatting position but not cross-legged. Does the method matter?[/quote] The cross-legged position tests hip flexibility and range of motion, which is helpful. But it's still great to be able to do it from squatting! You might consider trying it with the cross-legged position sometimes, using a table or chair arm as an assist, just to work on that range of motion. Also gentle hip opening exercises (even just sitting in a cross legged position on the floor for a little each day) will help with this. The reason this is helpful as you age is that great flexibility and range of motion in your hips can help you avoid falls as you age, which become a progressively greater risk. [/quote]
