- 1
To start balancing on one foot, stand up tall with your feet close together, and look straight ahead at something that is not moving.

When you slowly pick up one foot, you can bend your knee and keep your back straight, and it's okay if your body wobbles a little.

If balancing feels too hard at first, you can hold onto a wall or a sturdy chair, and practice will help you get better.
