Just Juggle it ?


Juggling is a good form of exercise for part of the arms and shoulders. It also improves your eyes to hands coordination.

Juggling does to my upper limbs, what jogging has done for my lower limbs. In fact, there are jogglers who do juggling while they go jogging.

You can do a "speedy" session by upping the tempo: use more props, and of the same size and shape and texture and weight, and keep the props closer to one another in the air.

Or, you can do a "strengthening" session by upping the degree of difficulty: use more props and of different sizes and shapes and textures and weights, and execute a more complicate pattern.

Or, you can have a relaxing "recovery" session by slowing down the rhythm: use less props, do an easier pattern, and throw the props higher up. Some people juggle only when they are calm. Others juggle to calm themselves. Personally, I find that the condition is similar to that of a long slow jog, which is a good time to do some thinking and dreaming. Juggling certainly does take away some negative energy from you as it burns calorie at the same time.

Life certainly is one juggling act after another. Juggling between work and leisure, family and friends, between all the different roles that you play. Shall we add more things to juggle, or shall we intentionally miss one of these items and lets it drop to the ground? Or shall we just focus on a handful of tasks or goals, that we can simply hold on to, without the need to juggle?
