What’s the best way to predict how long you’ll live?
A) Your grip strength
B) The length of your stride
C) How long you can stand on one foot
Got your answer? Well, you might be surprised…
Because it turns out — the answer is C!
In fact…
Being able to stand on one leg for 10 seconds
could mean you have twice the chance of
living at least another 10 years or more.1
10 seconds for 10 years? Pretty incredible!

But honestly, it makes sense that good balance is so important.
After all, the leading cause of injury for adults 65 and older is unintentional falls…3

And good balance just makes life EASIER — whether it’s going up and down stairs, carrying groceries to the car, or even just getting up from the couch.

There’s only one problem: If you don’t use it, you lose it.

Come in for yoga - we practise balance - not ready for a full yoga class? Try our chair class on Mondays from 10:30-11:15 am

Practice at home. 10-second exercise once a day:
Stand up straight behind a stable chair (make sure it doesn’t rock). Use both hands to hold onto the top of the chair’s backrest.

Slowly lift the heel of your dominant foot off the floor (if you’re right-handed, that means your right foot). Hold it there until you feel stable.

Now lift the rest of your foot off the floor as well so it’s hovering above the ground.

Once you feel stable, slowly let go of the chair. Hold this position for 10 seconds, then lower your foot back to the ground.

For an extra challenge, try this exercise without the chair, or alternate which foot you lift off the ground.

Bonus Round: Close your eyes with your foot in the air and see how long you can last! But make sure you are near that chair!
