Try just standing on one foot for time to find out some health risks, especially for older people. From the article...

The length of time you can stand on one leg may indicate how fast you’re aging at the neuromuscular level.

That’s according to a new study from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, which compared volunteers in their 50s with those who were 20 years older.

The biggest difference between groups was in the ability to balance on one foot. It appears to decline much faster with age than grip strength or gait speed. That decline has serious consequences, as shown in previous studies that linked poor single-leg balance to a risk of repeated falls. It’s also a red flag for premature death.

More research shows that your ability to balance on one leg can reveal how well you’re aging. Discover the fascinating science for why, and what you can do to improve.

I was so sad and surprised tonight to hear that my friend, mentor and martial arts instructor, Rob LaPointe has passed away. I can’t describe to you how much influence he had on my life.

My condolences to his family.
