I do the alphabet leg stand as part of my core strength exercises. I also do single leg squats and single leg hip rotations on a wobble ball thing as part of my conditioning routine. As part of the strengthening routine I also do a hamstring strength exercise with a dumbbell that involves standing on one leg and bending to put the the dumbbell on the floor whilst the none standing leg extends out behind you. I do core 3 times a week and conditioning 3 times a week (but not on the same day) Yoga every day gets me standing on one leg. I would have said I haven’t fallen over out running since I started doing these but i tripped over a piece of driftwood poking out the sand on the beach on Saturday night Never done them with my eyes shut |

that's impressive! Thanks to be honest I didn’t think about how much standing on one leg I do til I listed it. Unless of course you are commenting on my ability to find a 2 inch piece of wood sticking up in miles of beach 😁 |

Eyes shut makes it much tougher for sure. I could stand on one leg for several minutes eyes open either leg but shut is a big step up

And other movement is what's really important. On my first blog today I wrote that I don't think anything over a minute, merely standing still -wherever the free leg is positioned - is particularly useful. It's a bit like boasting about 5 minute planks. So what?
