- Single-Leg Balance
Balance is trainable at any age and almost nobody trains it deliberately. It is the layer that took my father.
Clip coming: single-leg stand
The session
Same movements every time. The load changes, not the list.
Single-leg stand, eyes open
3 × 30s each side
Stand near a wall. Progress to eyes closed once 30s is comfortable.
Single-leg stand, eyes closed
3 × as long as you hold it
This is the screen test. Note your best each week.
Heel-to-toe walk
2 × 20 steps
Single-leg RDL
2 × 8 each side
Balance under a little load.
Four weeks
- 01Week 1 — eyes open only. Build the base.
- 02Week 2 — introduce eyes closed for one set.
- 03Week 3 — eyes closed for every set.
- 04Week 4 — retest your balance time.
Then retest your Single-Leg Balance
Four weeks is long enough for this number to move. Take the screen before you start so you have a baseline worth comparing against.
