Getting feedback and measuring physical functionality

We get fat and lazy or get addicted to sports. It's difficult to understand what is normal amount of physical activity we need. What should we be able to do? What is "normal" for us?

I think we should collect a group of easy tests for everyone to do, so that we can eveluate our self, if we have an average functional ability. (Send me links or ideas about good tests.)

Other "todo" collection or a knowledge base would be a collection of exercises. We are collection online videos and it is going well, but what about instructions about exercises. (This does not mean that instructions should be done with out an instructor.) This is just pre work before the actual research starts. Remember that research is about comparing eastern and western ways of maintaining physical functionality.

Physical functionality for me is not about sickness or illness. It is just to get to know your ability to work, exercise and do things. We can set our own goals on how good shape, condition we are in. This does not mean fitness in sence of "fitness sports". It just means being fit for normal daily jobs.
