Getting up from the floor without support can get increasingly difficult as you age. Shilpa Shetty says, “It’s not just about getting up; it’s how you get up that matters.” Showing a quick way to get up from the floor without using your hands, the Bollywood actor said it is a “useful indicator of lower-body strength, balance and mobility”.

According to her, the movement engages the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings and core while also requiring good hip and ankle mobility, coordination and stability. “Practising this movement with appropriate support can help maintain independence and make everyday activities easier,” Shetty further added in the caption of her Instagram post.
