Sit and Reach Test
Assesses flexibility of lower back and hamstrings
How to do it: This test also requires a yardstick and tape. Place the yardstick on a mat and put a strip of tape across the yardstick at the 15-inch mark. Next, sit on the mat with the yardstick between your legs and your heels flexed at the 15-inch mark. With your feet 10 to 12 inches apart, lean forward from your waist, dropping your head down and reaching with one hand on top of the other as far as you can. Sit up and record the distance you reached. Repeat twice more. Your score: the best result.
