Well I'm 70 and standing (I admit to wobbling) on one leg to change trainers to spikes at track in bad weather is something I have learned to do as necessity if you don't want wet feet.

saw something on insta (yes I know!) that if your hip drops when you stand on one leg that your Glute med need working on
My hip drops
I have known past issues with glute med that I obviously (haha) work on religiously so makes sense to me!

I did a fell race last night and think some SOOL wouldn't be a bad thing ;-)

Had completely forgotten about this, until I came across a bunch of reels on Instagram talking about core work and the benefits of one leggedness.

We got Tussock vizsla a wobble cushion and he's doing really well including standing on one front leg on it

Got something to say?

About This Thread

Maintained by Derby Tup
Sharkie's current blog has piqued my interest in standing on one leg for training to increase proprioception. It's a great little exercise to improve off-road running skill, or recover from lower leg injuries especially twisted ankles

A wobble board is useful but you can do it without equipment while brushing your teeth, queuing for a coffee etc

My real interest is improving my 'eyes closed' time
