Make it boring and frequent
Stand on one foot while the kettle boils. Keep a fingertip on the counter until you do not need it. Then turn your head slowly left and right. That is vestibular training in house clothes.
- Tandem stance (heel to toe) — 20 seconds
- Single-leg stand — 15 seconds each side
- Sit-to-stand from a chair without using hands if able — 8 reps
Progressions that stay safe
Always have a stable surface within reach.
Strength still matters
Strong hips and calves make balance easier. Sit-to-stands and calf raises two days a week complement the single-leg holds. Shoes with huge cushions can make indoor practice feel wobbly; socks or thinner soles often feel clearer.
Repeated falls, vertigo, or new numbness belong in a clinic, not a social-media challenge.
