Juggle your way to better health

Not a big fan of running?

Why not try juggling instead?

TheĀ NY Post did a story on how more and more studies have found juggling can boost brain health and even count as exercise!

It helps with everything from hand-eye coordination to balance.

Before you say “I can’t”…just juggling TWO balls can have a positive effect…and a recent study found that all 20 seniors in a group were eventually able to juggle three balls…it just takes practice!

On top of the brain boost, it can also help keep you fit.

The New York Times says juggling can burn up to 280 calories per hour, roughly what you’d get from an hour-long walk.
