The 60-Second Standing Challenge is a simple yet effective way to gauge balance, stability, and lower-body strength.

It involves standing on one leg for up to 60 seconds while maintaining proper posture and control.

To get an accurate assessment, ensure that you perform the test in a quiet space free of distractions.

This challenge isn’t just for athletes; it applies to everyone.

Regardless of your fitness level, balance is a key aspect of overall health.

This variation removes visual input, forcing your body to rely solely on proprioception and muscular control.

If you find this too difficult, start with open eyes and gradually progress as your balance improves.

Balance can be trained just like any other fitness skill.
