For Your Body

Beyond the mental benefits, juggling is an athletic pursuit. Starting with 3 balls is accessible to anyone. But the journey from 3 to 5 to 7 balls is one of genuine athletic achievement—like advancing through karate belts or mastering a musical instrument.

The Numbers Juggling Journey:

3 Balls: The foundation. Learn the pattern, develop rhythm, build confidence. Most people stop at 3 objects. You can develop funny patter. You can do rings, clubs. There are an unlimited number patterns and variations using just 3 objects.
5 Balls: A significant leap. Requires dedication, practice, and athleticism. Setting out to learn 5 balls is the very start of what is referred to as "numbers juggling" With numbers juggling it is less about all the endless variations.

(Numbers Juggling)


Learning to juggle is challenging and rewarding. If you choose numbers juggling (~5 and more objects), 5 balls will likely require months of practice. More than 5 will likely be years of practice. You don't need a coach. There are resources online which will step by step guide you for juggling 3 balls. And additional resources/tips for setting out to learn 5. You don't need a coach, but.....

I progressed to 7 balls first with 3, through 4, then 5, then 7. It is a fun but long road. I was attracted to "numbers juggling". I enjoyed 3 but I wanted 5, then 7.
