How long can you stand on one leg without the aid of anything or anyone?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Crutches limit hands mobility a lot so while having a non-weight bearing right leg,

during my morning and evening routine, which usually lasts 20-20 minutes, I stand in front of mirror for about 20 minutes each time on just one leg without crutches or anything.

Have never had a necessity to stand on just one leg, so had no idea I could do that.

Just an article about older people. If they can't balance on one foot for more than 20 seconds, then it is possible that they have had mini strokes, and that there is the possibility of a more serious one coming. This was in Bottom Line Health. They seem to keep up with current medical information, among other things. How true is it? You should probably get a check up every year or two after you reach 55.

At least twice in my life. I have broken both legs at different times in my life so I know what your going through.

@LaFemmeFatale_1 Hope you on the mend & feeling better.

This question was asked a month ago... check the results then...

How long can you STAND on ONE LEG?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Haven’t seen it back then.

[NathanDavis]

20 minutes standing on one leg? I'll try to match that...

brb in 20 minutes or so... lol

[NathanDavis]

got it... and the Dolphins got another touchdown too...

but, I've practiced that pose for years... lol

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

🤣🤣🤣

No way! You really tried that!

How long did you last? 🫨

[NathanDavis]

just matched the same 20... lol

have not done it in a long time

[robhazelnut]

Bravo, dude

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@NathanDavis I am impressed, too! 🫣

[NathanDavis]

balance is key in sports... lol

and it was also part of my training to become ambidextrous

[robhazelnut]

Bravo. I tried right before posting this and got to 5 minutes, 41 seconds and change. 224lb.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

That’s a nice result. I probably last longer because I weigh less, 49 kg and 2nd leg is not an option, as it’s broken. So I kind of have to.

As Musashi wrote, everything is hard at first.

[deus_ex_sisyphus]

I've seen so many people try to do something like this and pass out lmao, the trick is to bend your knees

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I’ve never seen anyone pass out from standing on one leg.

[deus_ex_sisyphus]

oh yeahhh its a thing, just google 'lock knees faiting' without the typo lol and see what i mean

[love_conquers_lust]

There’s a trick to this. Stare at a perfectly still/static object while doing so.

[love_conquers_lust]

Perhaps a few minutes. I’ve never tested to see how long.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I already do pretty well instead of trying to make it more of an obstacle.

Do it yourself. I am not having an athletic competition, I am standing on one leg, because I have to.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Why should I watch a perfectly still object if I am doing a morning routine?

[love_conquers_lust]

To help maintain balance.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Oh okay… Thought you were offering a new challenge haha

[love_conquers_lust]

Nope. If it were me, I’d grab onto something but I don’t know your setup.

[exitseven]

I used to stand on one foot while holding 2- 25pound dumbells. I think I did it for 15 minutes for each foot. I had to do it in front of a mirror.

[Sonorous]

I've never really timed it. But I imagine a long time, since I train legs. Whenever I train legs, I notice my balance increases so much.

[Siri137]

Less than a second. I have a terrible sense of balance.

[Sevenpointfive]

are you preparing yourself for a shark bite?

[DJB72]

I only have one leg...

Before that I was a dancer so quite a while

[iFarted]

Standing up right on one leg or in any certain position?

[TiaNour]

I think max for me is like 10 minutes

[PBandJ_Nerd]

1 second or less, if that even exists.

[OldBlue]

According to the cop... not very long.

[Cute_potato01]

5 mins roughly

[eagle1951]

1 second
