Standing on one foot and balancing like this actually relaxes all of the
muscles in your
foot and leg, because all of the
muscles are being used. You are creating and achieving muscular balance!
Try to balance for one minute. When you start to become better at balancing, you can do two minutes or more.
When you are done with your first leg, then practice balancing on your other foot.
An interesting side effect occurs, and it is a good one! Your legs will be less achey.
