Improve your balance by standing on one leg with eyes clo...
A simple way to improve your balance is to stand in the corner of the room (no, you haven't been naughty), close your eyes, cross your arms across your chest, then lift one leg.
To complete this challenge you have to do this on both your right leg and your left leg for 60 seconds each without falling over/putting that raised leg down. This HAS to be done concurrently/or very close to it. In other words, if you manage 1 minute on one leg one day, and another 1 minute on another leg another day, that is not good enough to complete the challenge. However, if you manage 1 minute on one leg then it takes three or four goes before you manage it on the other leg, but in the same session, then you can claim completion.
It's not as easy as it sounds & it's harder if you're not wearing any shoes.

“Harder than it sounds. Standing on right leg was easier than left but after a few attempts I managed to complete one leg straight after the other. I found it helped if I visualized a horizontal line in front of me (e.g. a wall or a fence) and concentrated on that. ”

Catherine W I have an inkling that I am not going to get this until my hip is completely fixed/healed. :(
Nevertheless I shall continue to try!

Angeline S I'm getting there! 32.71 seconds on my right leg and 1:04.21 minute on my left leg. It worked when I didn't think about it but once I got to a minute on the other leg my nerves were completely shot. Will try again tomorrow and I may just complete this challenge!

Jessica H I did this with my eyes open the first time without realizing they were meant to be closed. I was confused why everyone was having such a hard time.... As soon as I closed my eyes. Things aren't so easy.
