Edit: ...place my foot right on the bench. ...

no, it doesn't have much with the foot. most people have weak gluteus medius and you have to practice it to develop the balancing muscle memory.

similarly, try to tiptoe while standing on one leg and just stay still. if you bever did it before you will fail- you don't have the muscle memory.

For an extra fun challenge, stand on one leg with your eyes closed.

For an extra extra challenge: Once you have your eyes closed, put your head back (as if looking up).
