I can do 30 seconds each leg no problem 🙂

Going by that test, I will get way over 200 year old

Better balance may mean a longer life

 

A study published online June 21, 2022, by the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that people who are unable to stand on one leg for 10 seconds in middle and later life have almost double the usual risk of premature death.

 

Researchers evaluated the health information and balance test results of 1,700 people (ages 51 to 75, and all free of walking problems), and then followed them for seven years. During the study, 123 participants died of various causes. After taking participants' age, underlying conditions, weight, and other factors into account, scientists determined that failing the balance test was associated with an 84% higher risk of dying within the study period

I can stand for at least 10 minutes and I don’t understand what the problem is?
Your leg gets tired or you fall to the side 😦
