Many of you may have tried the ‘Old Man’ test.
The test is a simple balance challenge where you put on your socks and shoes while standing on one leg. It’s a practical measure of lower-body strength, flexibility, and balance—key indicators of functional fitness and longevity. Struggling with this task may suggest a higher fall risk and reduced mobility, making balance training essential for older adults.
However, in this YouTube Short, FitGreyStrong takes the ‘Old Man’ Test to the next level making it possibly one of the hardest balance challenges to be ever posted to YouTube.
This is the first time on YouTube this well known test has been modified to make it super challenging for almost everyone.
Taking away visual cues is a key component of helping us balance.
