Single Leg Balance

This exercise challenges your static balance by having you balance on one leg at a time.

Stand normally with your feet hip-width apart.

Slowly lift one leg so that you are balancing on your opposite leg. Hold this position.

• Keep your gaze on a point ahead of you.
• Stand tall as you hold the position, lengthening through your standing leg.
• If needed, reach your arms out to the sides to help maintain your balance.
• If you’re feeling unsteady, try practicing in a doorway so you can use the walls to stabilize.
