Yes easily, but at 38 I would expect that to be the case, unless there’s any specific mobility issues.

I thought the balance on one leg should be done with eyes shut. So hard.

@waterlego I love bodybalance! That class would be great for all this sort of functional mobility stuff, wouldn't it?

I love it too! Such a great class ❤️ And yes, it’s great for core and lower body strength, mobility, balance and flexibility.

I have such a wide range of participants in my classes including some quite elderly people, some of whom are more restricted in what they can do, but who do what they can. I’ve also got some folk in their late 70s/80s who are amazingly strong and flexible, a couple of them can do the splits etc. They’re all fantastic.

Almost 70 now and yes I can do it with either leg. I walk at least 4 miles daily though as a conscious effort to stay strong as I have osteoporosis in the base of my spine.

I've just tried and could just about manage the one-leg chair stand on each leg, but if the real test is to be able to balance on one leg, then I find that easy.

How long can the average person can balance on one leg, does anyone know?
