1 bounce balls, 2 bounce balls, 3 bounce balls, 4 bounce balls, fitness, 70 minutes

Here's my first practice log, by the way I'm a bounce juggler. I'm a very injury prone guy, started off by stretching for 10 minutes.
1 ball: I think it's important to go back to the basics, just advanced moves including between the legs and behind the back bounces, nothing too hard (10 minutes).
2 balls: a much more advanced session, combining moves of behind the back, between the legs, and wimpy patterns. A much harder 2 ball session than what somebody might normally think of one. (25 minutes).
3 balls: a few cascade tries, 3 runs past 100, with my best being 412 3 ball force bounced catches: 412 I then went on to practice the cascade while doing spins and walking/running forward and backwards, then switching to isolation, without moving my feet, and went back and forth between the 2. I then switched to a cascade with a bounced ball under the leg, and then behind the back (15 minutes).
4 balls: just a quick little session today. Wanted to try more 4 ball patterns but ran out of time. 6 catches of 4 ball sync. 4 ball force bounced catches: 6 (5 minutes).
Fitness: Did an hour long bike ride today, but not by choice, as I had to go to my rowing, and I was exhausted because of doing a 2 hour bike ride the previous day. After this, I went on and did a tough core workout, which is probably not going to let me move tomorrow. Side note: I didn't add the bike ride into my session time, but did add the other fitness parts (15 minutes).

Total practice time: 70 minutes

7b_wizard - Hi again, Jake and welcome to log section, too!
7b_wizard - Yeh, stretching makes a lot of sense to me too. I also do a few exercises ~2 mins before each session, too.
7b_wizard - Your bouncing basket- and tennisballs really brings diversity to this log. Also sounds like you been juggling for a whole good while already, and you're already into jargon, and you know what you're doing, like doing really structured sessions. Nice read! Keep it up .. erhh .. bounced back up!
