A simple one-leg stand is a surprisingly powerful test of balance, coordination, and how well your body is aging. In this episode of our series, Move for Life, trainers Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna show how this fun, focused move lights up your core, glutes, and posture—while improving breath control and body awareness. They guide you through progressions—from fingertip support to eyes closed and longer holds—that boost stability, confidence, and even gait. Yoga, barre, and Pilates make great complements.

Nate and Shebah also stress practicing on both sides, focusing on form (not ego!), and enjoying the process. With a playful attitude and a “start where you are” mindset, this simple balance drill can help keep you strong, steady, and independent for years to come.

You should consult your healthcare providers before starting or modifying a fitness routine.
