So why did the chicken cross the road? - to get away from the freak standing on his hands: One thing this assassin learned playing Skyrim is dont kill the chicken, but how does one scare it away instead? Ancient research shows that inverting one self will activate the chickens inner fear and run away, even if that mean to cross the magical road. Week 1 goal: a. Do 3 20min focused handstand sessions. b. Stay on my hands every day at least 5 times. What good are wings if you can't fly? An assasin can crawl in the shadows, following his foes every step. but some assassins are too heavy to pull themself up, and how should he then catch the flying chicken? Week 1goal: a: to do 3-4 sessions in my pull-up course. b: work every day on improving my pulling strength, including pulling preps, hanging, or climbing. Why a clumsy ninja shouldn't play with shurikens, and how duct tape can fix it: Never trust a clumsy ninja! this challenge it's back to juggling. and now focusing on the 3 ball cascade, so I can learn it. I learned from the former challenge that juggling is taking a backseat when life gets busy, kinda ironic that juggling gets left out when one try to juggle life? (this is the challenge of bad jokes I guess). Week 1goal: juggle for 5 consecutive minutes each day, before going to bed. For now its planned to be after i brushed my teeth, more juggle is awesome, but 5 minutes pr day is a minimum! no excuses. If you want the chicken you want to rise before the hen: Assassins rise before the sun, to view the world from the shadows, they dont spend to much time on the bed looking at meaningless social media! Ive had a bad habit of waking in propper time but spending way much time in the bed, which result in stressing and not eating breakfast. Sometimes it means I dont get to have my morning coffee (or buy my morning coffee only to miss my train, but hey - priorities!!! Week 1goal: To leave my bed 10 minutes earlier than I already do now. this goal might be edited and build on at week2 if it goes well, or keep staying the same till i crush it!.

This will be updated throughout the days, and will look back at this later. but here is the first draft! So in the last challenge I worked on reading everyday, however I found out that I had a good habit of reading in the train, I have 2x 45 minute in the train 5 times pr week, and im reading in most of those breaks (when I dont do this challengetext ;)) so I will try to see if I an maintain that without it being part of the next challenge. 1. I won't miss you when you're gone keyword: Minimalism Object: To own 1 less thing for every day of the challenges. Rules: For every day get rid of one thing, (28 total for the duration of the challenge), if I for some reason dont chose a thing, ill get rid of 3 the following day (so 1penalty item) If I buy new things I will have to get rid of the same amounts of stuff, so 1 pair of jeans in, an additional item out. Ill post here either by words of pictures what I get rid of :). Rules 2: I dont count hygiene items like toilet paper and so forth, the same with food items that I need to maintain a daily living. 2.

I'm not sure if this is a thread or not, but I will start it here. So, I actually am in a Circus. I'm a Clown, Beginner-ish Juggler, Intermediate Tumbler with a focus in Slapstick and Pratfalls, a Balance Artist (Rola Bola, Acro Yoga, Walking Globe standing and balancing my body on top of the Globe) and picking up my partners for a gag. Most of the things that I have to do in the Circus involve being able to stand up for hours on end, anywhere from 3 to 8 hours, chasing after my fellow Clowns, Juggling, standing on a Globe, running after kids, picking up my partners, etc. So, the main things I have to focus on workout wise is: Endurance Running Lifting Yoga Just wondering if there are any fellow Clowns or Circus Skill Nerds out there, if so, let's help each other out.

Hey, everyone! I've seen lots of fun activities in this part o the forum, but I haven't found juggling yet. So, do you guys like it? What kind of jugging do you like? How often to you practice? I, personally, am still struggling with a 3 ball cascade, but I love training. It's probably my favorite activity, actually. And now I've found a group of jugglers in my college's campus, so I'll start learning other kinds of juggling. Oh, and I have a diabolo that I'm trying to figure out how to keep on the string, hehe. So, if anyone has any tips or comments on juggling, please share it here! A friendly bear hug to everyone!
