Proprioception, ankle stability, hip strength, and vestibular function. A window into your nervous system health.
Research shows inability to stand on one leg for 10 seconds in middle age is linked to nearly double the risk of death from any cause within 10 years. Balance is a use-it-or-lose-it skill that declines with age if not trained.
Stand near a wall or chair for safety (but don't touch)
Shift your weight to one leg
Lift the other foot off the ground, knee bent at 90 degrees
Keep your standing leg straight but not locked
Hold for 30 seconds, then switch legs
Fix your gaze on a stationary point in front of you
Engage your core—imagine bracing for a light punch
Practice while brushing your teeth or waiting for coffee
Keep a fingertip on a wall, or hold for 10 seconds
Close your eyes, or stand on an unstable surface
Be honest with yourself. This is about knowing where you are, not where you think you should be.
