I'm not an elderly man but worth testing for sure. My balance was a little less than yours but had circus music in my head at the same time which didn't help.
I feel I can't lose so now I'm going to work on it until I nail it. You've created an animal.
Greatly appreciate what you do!

[@MovementProjectPT]

Glad you found it helpful! I'm sure I can do better but I did it in 1 take so it was more real. Keep after it!

When you can do both socks and shoes without switching feet you may leave the temple, Grasshopper.

[@mertonhirsch4734]

If you can't find your shoes do you pass or fail?
