Single-leg balance: how to do it with good form

Single-leg balance trains the ankles, hips and coordination — important for preventing falls and injuries.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall near a wall or chair for support if needed.

  2. 2

    Lift one foot off the floor with a soft knee.

  3. 3

    Hold your balance for the set time, eyes looking forward.

  4. 4

    Switch legs. Make it harder by closing your eyes or standing on something soft.

Common mistakes

  • Locking the knee of the standing leg.
  • Hip dropping to the side.
  • Looking down at the floor.
