You can do this exercise while watching TV. For an added challenge, you can modify the exercise to improve your balance.
Stand on one foot behind a sturdy chair, holding on for balance.
Hold position for up to 10 seconds.
Repeat 10-15 times.
Repeat 10-15 times with other leg.
Repeat 10-15 more times with each leg.
As you progress in your exercise routine, try adding the following challenges to help your balance even more:
Start by holding on to a sturdy chair with both hands for support.
When you are able, try holding on to the chair with only one hand.
With time, hold on with only one finger, then with no hands at all.
If you are really steady on your feet, try doing the balance exercises with your eyes closed.
