- Single-Leg Balance
Balance is trainable at any age and almost nobody trains it deliberately. It is the layer that took my father.
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 Body Quotient test. Note your best each week.
Single-leg RDL
2 × 8 each side
Balance under a little load.
Four weeks

Then retest your Single-Leg Balance
Four weeks is long enough for this number to move. Take the Body Quotient before you start so you have a baseline worth comparing against.
