Single-Leg Balance Hold

How to do it

1. Stand barefoot on a firm floor with the feet hip-width apart and the arms relaxed at the sides.
2. Shift the weight onto one foot and lift the other foot until that thigh is about hip height.
3. Keep the knee of the standing leg soft, not locked, and hold the hips level.
4. Let the ankle and the foot make small corrections. Look at one fixed point ahead.
5. Hold for the target time, then put the foot down and repeat on the other side.
6. To make it harder, close the eyes or stand on a folded towel.
