Jumping back to the discussion of the benefits of really small amounts of exercise, i want to share the most cost-effective exercise I’ve ever done. I balance on one foot while putting my socks on. I started doing it because i noticed i was having new balance issues. And at first, i couldn’t do it, and i had to lean against my bureau while i put on my socks. But after a week or two, i could put on loose socks. And now i can balance firmly enough to put on even the tighter socks.
This literally takes no time out of my day, because i was going to spend time putting on my socks anyway, and now that i can do it, it really doesn’t take any more time than sitting down would. And my balance has improved substantially.
