at age 46 I lasted 5s on the first attempt, but after a few more tries I
was still there at 1 minute and getting bored so I stopped. I find that
concentrating on the sensation in my foot gives the feedback required - I
have the impression that inner-ear balance organs don't react for small
enough perturbations to enable one to keep still. I must try it without my
shoe(s).
