AIBU to ask how long you can balance on one leg with your eyes closed?

[Aberforthsgoat]

DH and I just had a ridiculous competition
You have to stand on your handwriting side leg - ie if you’re right handed stand on your right leg and lift the other leg up off the ground, bending it at the knee
See how long you can hold it

How long can you manage and do you wobble?

DH thinks you shouldn’t wobble at all but only managed 12 seconds
now imagining Mumsnetters all over the country randomly balancing on one leg and freaking the rest of the house out...

[LilaJude]

I managed 45 seconds and that was with Dcat rubbing round my leg!

[LilaJude]

And yes I definitely wobbled!

[timeforteaplease1]

31 seconds

[Igotthemheavyboobs]

9 seconds with wabbling!! I wasn't expecting that as I can stand on one leg with eyes open for ages!

[Aberforthsgoat]

Haha @igotthemheavyboobs I was over confident going into it for that very reason!
I’m stubborn so kept going back and practising
First time I nearly veered over straight away as I just lifted My leg straight up without doing it steadily

[MrsReacher85]

90 seconds, then got bored. But I do a lot of yoga which encourages one legged standing!

[Aberforthsgoat]

Bloody hell @mrsreacher85 was that with your eyes closed as well? Please tell me you wobbled, you’re putting us all to shame
Maybe I need to rethink yoga

[Kenworthington]

3 seconds

[3out]

Eyes open or shut?
Leg akimbo or flamingo style?
Bare feet or shoes?

I got to a minute and then got bored. Very minimal wobble. Am I doing it wrong?

[silkpyjamasallday]

24 seconds until DD pulled my foot that was harder than expected

[DrDiva]

I am three glasses of anniversary champagne down. Can I get back to you?

[Bubblysqueak]

Not very long but in right handed left footed so I last longer on my left food.

[Aberforthsgoat]

Eyes closed!
Standing normally sorry should have explained that
And then lifting the other leg up, bending at knee and holding it

Starting with eyes closed as well so you lift with eyes closed

[DishingOutDone]

YABU. No one wants to stand on one leg at teatime. HTH.

[3out]

Holding the foot or holding the position?

[Aberforthsgoat]

Holding the position

[Aberforthsgoat]

@drdiva happy anniversary but no I insist

[3out]

‘YABU. No one wants to stand on one leg at teatime. HTH.’
I tend to cook whilst standing on one leg as it’s comfier. I prefer to sit to eat though.

[3out]

Ok. Eyes closed results in wobble that the Wobbly-Bridge would be proud of. Managed about 9 seconds only.

[Aberforthsgoat]

@3out oh ha I was ready to be super impressed by your previous post!

[OrcinusOrca]

11 seconds with wobbling. I thought I'd do loads better!

[OrcinusOrca]

DH only managed 2.5 seconds though

[ShivD]

40 seconds.

[ShivD]

I do a lot of yoga though and it was wobbly at times

[Houseonahill]

A very wobbly 12 seconds
