"When I remember, whilst brushing my teeth, I'll stand on one foot for 30 seconds at a time. It's also surprisingly hard and tiring."
Still, do it as often as possible. The trick is to make it a habit, to build it into your regular dayroutines. Also when you are waiting for something, when you are lying in bed - all opportunities to exercise and strenghten your weaknesses.

I doubt that "exergames" are as efficient as these traditional and proven methods, which require minimal space and time and no equipment.
