Can you walk heel to toe?

I can't can't do this anymore without falling over (and I don't drink alcohol these days).
I am going to practice daily to try to improve my balance.
Crouching down is another thing I find difficult to do, it hurts my knees but I can kneel.

It's amazing how these physical failings creep up on us as we age.

In a line Rhian I think the police use this as a standard test to see if you are drunk.
I would fail although I don't drink

Re: Can you walk heel to toe?

I just tried that. At first I did loose my balance. But I have just done the length of my hall and back. I also found that it is easier if you don’t look at your feet but look ahead.
Very interesting.

I can walk heel to toe ok but must admit that crouching is not so comfortable as it used to be. I don't have any problems luckily just lack of practice I think.
