Hi Espi...I read your log with interest recently. Congrats on starting NROL. I agree with what others have been suggesting to you regarding training your body to learn balance, and from my experience with the program, NROL is well-suited for that. Anyway, it got me to thinking, what if you could do the static lunges standing between two bars that would be at your sides. I'm not sure how you'd go about creating that, but it would offer you some peace of mind that if you began to list to one side, the bars would brace you and keep you from falling, then you could regain your balance and continue the lunges. Kind of like the side rails on a treadmill.

Just a thought...best of luck with NROL!
