What can you do with 3 balls?

by Average Joggler on 01/26/2012

I used to think that I was able to do everything with three ball juggling. In fact, I thought it was a bit boring.

But the truth is there are people who do some amazing things with 3 balls that I didn’t even think about. Here’s an amazing example.

I really need to practice.

Crowds

Clapping while smiling
Taking motivating shots
Propels you forward

Marathon morning

Wake up nervously
Rush to gear check then line up
Juggle to calm down

It takes more than running to lose weight

January 24, 2012

While I’m not overweight, my BMI is a bit high and I would like to lose a few pounds (about 10).  The primary reason is that people with lower BMIs live longer.  The secondary reason is that I’d like to run faster and to be a faster joggler, you have to be a skinnier joggler. [...]

Running tips for beginners

January 23, 2012

Lately I’ve been running with my wife. She’s a bit slower than me but I enjoy running with her and it helps me keep the pace under control during my injury recovery. She is a relatively new runner but she’s definitely getting faster. I was really impressed today when she went out in the cold [...]

Are you off your feet at least 30 minutes a day?

January 22, 2012

I discovered this video via Obesity Panacea (joggler Travis Saunder‘s blog) and thought it was a pretty good description of why you should try to spend only 23 1/2 hours a day sleeping or sitting. I very much like the way this video was done. I would love to be able to draw and make [...]

January 21, 2012

I was amazed that this YouTube video of joggler Christopher Hardy has over 52,000 views!  WOW!! Interestingly, he does a reverse cascade throw which is different than nearly every 3 ball joggler that I’ve ever met. Great job Christopher! Hopefully we can get an interview with him shortly.

Will joggling boost your mood?

January 20, 2012

Why you should wear only one headphone

January 19, 2012

I’m an urban joggler. That is, I joggle mostly in the city. And joggling or running in the city can be dangerous. There are cars, trucks, busses, trains, blind alleys, construction equipment, crowds of people and even stray dogs that can cause you harm. Urban exercise can be dangerous. You know what makes it more [...]

Can you beat these robot marathon runners?

January 17, 2012

In my post about robotic jugglers, Joe Salter humorously quipped that he wanted to know when they would develop a robot joggler.  To that end, I found this video about running robots.  They are really working on them. But then Matt directed me to this event, the robot marathon. Very cool! These robot “run” the [...]
