Single-Leg Balance

Stand tall with your feet together and shift your weight onto one leg. Lift the other foot slightly off the floor, bending the knee, and find a fixed point ahead to focus your gaze. Brace your core and keep a soft knee on the standing leg, making small ankle and hip adjustments to stay balanced. Hold the position steady, then switch to the other leg.
