Single Leg Balance

How to do it

Stand tall on one leg with the opposite knee lifted to hip height in front of you.
Fix your eyes on a point straight ahead and keep the standing knee soft, not locked out.
Brace your core to keep the hips level and the torso stacked directly over the standing foot.
Maintain the position for the prescribed count, breathing steadily without letting the torso sway.
Keep the arms relaxed at the sides or lightly out to the sides for balance control.
Lower the lifted leg and switch sides to complete the rep on the opposite leg.
