I tried this back when it was making the rounds some time ago, despite the fact that correlation between the ability to get up without using arms and lifespan is definitely not causation.
I am fat but reasonably fit, but not terribly flexible, and totally failed at the attempt. Also, my knees are fine, but it hurts me a lot to put weight on kneecaps, so I've always been awkward about getting up from sitting on the floor unless I have something other than knees to lean on.
I appear to have a body that was purpose-designed for sitting in chairs.
