Balance on one leg

Build core strength and work your muscles standing on one leg for 5 minutes

Challenge Duration: 1X over 1 week

“Stop wasting your hard-earned money on training equipment that may not be effective for you. It takes an immense amount of muscle control to balance your body on one foot, and you use a lot of different muscle groups and expend a lot of calories in doing so. But keep in mind that if you are trying to balance on some air filled disc or wood platform and you fall off every 3 seconds, you are going to be building stress and frustration, not strength and muscle. Not to mention you won’t burn many calories. The point is, you only benefit from exercises that you can actually do continuously while keeping the targeted muscle or muscles engaged.

I challenge you to put the training equipment on the back burner and see if you can balance on the ground on one foot for 5 minutes on each leg. Keep in mind while you are doing this challenge, that the world record for standing on one leg is held by Arulanantham Suresh Joachim, for 76 hours and 40 minutes at the Open Air Stadium, Sri Lanka from May 22-25, 1997!”
