Why Your Body Feels Like It's Failing

What if you could test your physical health in just two minutes? In this solo episode of Harder Than Life, Kelly Siegel shares four simple at-home fitness tests to assess your balance, mobility, strength, and functional fitness—plus why one of the biggest mistakes high achievers make is focusing only on what’s wrong. From the standing sock test to waist-to-height ratio, push-ups, and getting up from the floor without using your hands, Kelly explains what these simple challenges can reveal and how to track your progress over time. The goal isn't to beat yourself up over what you can't do. It's to establish a baseline, build what you've lost, and recognize how far you've come. Four tests. Two minutes. One score to beat next month. Which test do you think will challenge you the most?
