I read an article in the Sat papers about exercising after a certain age: can't remember which age though.  Apparently if we stand on 1 leg then the other regularly it helps keep the brain active.  I could do it last night without a wobble, without socks on. This morning in slippers was a different scenario 

There was also an article on wobble boards  .  Any1 use one to help balance?  I know what I ought to be doing as well as the exercises from the physio., however - they gave me lower back pain

I now know why they are called 'wobble boards'    which is where I will be without something to hold onto ............

A few years ago I did yoga and the balancing on one foot still benefits me now. I would go back, but haven’t got the energy for an hour and a quarter session. DD follows an app and does it regularly. I don’t she think she’s related to me! She keeps on at me to start. She persists in her endeavours and bought me a yoga mat! Still in its wrapping! One year  on! Whoops!

Whoops indeed if I don't hold on to something whilst on the board  . I will try the sitting down exercise.  For safety .........

I did the other exercises (physio) in bed this morning, my lower back is sore but the deep thigh pain with radiation to the foot isn't as often.  I suppose I must persevere 

I can balance on one leg with eyes wide open: shutting them and I lose balance
