Brushing teeth has just got a whole lot more complicated. Let me explain..like most people I brush my teeth morning and night but I have also been absorbing a daily dose of Feet in the Clouds (absolutely brilliant read about fell running). Now, I hear you ask, what on earth do fell running and brushing teeth have in common?

As some of you may know from previous posts I have dodgy (technical term) ankles and have been utilising a wobble board to try to strengthen my ankles. So on reading that the author of FITC used to clean his teeth while balancing on one foot to help strengthen his ankles for fell running, I thought let’s give this a go.

I have now proved to myself that indeed I have very very dodgy ankles. I literally fell over the first time I tried it and let’s just say I’m glad this bit of training is unobserved as I wobble precauriously while trying to brush my teeth and not land in a heap on the bathroom floor. Things can only get better from here……I suppose one positive side effect is that my dentist will be happy with increased time spent on my teeth!
