About One Leg Balance

One Leg Balance shifts onto one foot and lifts the opposite knee while the arm on that same side moves toward it. It combines a balance task with arm-and-leg coordination. A low, brief lift is enough to study the transition.

What to focus on

Shift onto the supporting leg before lifting the other foot.
Lower the foot and regain a steady stance before changing sides.

Make the movement smaller

Use a fixed counter for support and keep the lifted knee low. Leave the toes lightly touching the floor if full single-leg support is not manageable.

A mistake to watch for

Chasing a high knee or a long hold while wobbling. Use a smaller lift and return the foot to the floor sooner.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to One Leg Balance. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
