TEST YOURSELF

You don’t have to be falling all around like Jerry’s klutzy neighbor Kramer on Seinfeld to have a balance problem. Let’s test you right now:

1. Stand next to a firm surface such as a counter or chair back.

2. Hold your hands above the surface in case you need support.

3. Close your eyes and lift one foot off the ground.

4. Balance on the other foot.

5. Count out loud the number of seconds you are able to balance.

The shorter your balance time, the “older” your equilibrium is. If you balanced for more than 22 seconds, your balance is as young as a 20-year-old’s; 15 seconds, you have the balance of a 30-year-old; 7.2 seconds, of a 40-year-old; 3.7 seconds, of a 50-year-old; and if you toppled over right away, you are 60 in “balance years.”

If you are fit and strong, you can have better balance than a much younger sedentary person. There are many ways you can boost your balance.
