Day 149/365 of #move365challenge ———————————— Paradiddle with a fiddle? Or perhaps a riddle while you fiddle with a paradiddle? Or better yet, a nibble while you paradiddle a riddle to the sounds of a fiddle? Why not wiggle into a fiddle that only plays paradiddles? Forget the riddles, go play with a paradiddle, and as your reward you can fiddle with a fiddle. Also, @notfromcolorado can play a mean fiddle so go check him out now.

Day 151/365 of #move365challenge ——————————— I’m in Ohio today for work so the hotel gym has the typical fare of overpriced machinery so I always come prepared…with tennis balls! (ps. Always bring rings along too!) Paradiddle! This time with your feet. Maybe paradiddle is a leap for you right now. Work on one foot and then alternate between feet at first. Then challenge yourself with the paradiddle! Death to hotel gyms! ———————————— Go check out @notfromcolorado as he teaches you the dragon squat. Very useful if you want to walk around with your own ‘gym’. It’s called your body! Who knew?!

Day 153/365 of #move365challenge ———————————— Find two tennis balls that have different amounts of air in them and aim to achieve a dribble where both balls touch the floor at the same time. What happens when you get out of sync? ———————————— Bored of my tennis balls, go check out @notfromcolorado to learn how to ? squat!

Day 155/365 of #move365 challenge —————————————— Hold a tennis ball in each hand. Begin to dribble one of the hands. Every second dribble, bounce the ball in the opposite hand and catch it with that same hand. Can you dribble the second ball one every second bounce instead of catching it? ——————————— Go hit up @notfromcolorado for the ? ?

Day 77/365 of #move365challenge Monkey see. Monkey do. I saw @andresvesga and @chrisjespinal working on this dribble challenge yesterday at @republicofmovement and thought this might be an easy task for me to pickup with my love for basketball. No no no. How wrong I am. There is so much to work on here. Ball weight. Timing. Rhythm. Association with texture of the ball. How much air and ‘bounciness’ each ball has. Relaxation and tension. How fun it can be to suck! ——————— How many bounces do you get in a row? ——————— Go peep @notfromcolorado for more sucking at things and figuring it out fun.

Day 171/365 of #move365challenge ———————————— Funny how life can come around on you. The big circle of it all. Last night at @chrisjespinal class at @republicofmovement we worked on some ipsi (same) and contra (opposite) tennis ball bounce with a staggered stance. Ipsi bounce with right hand means right foot forward. Contra bounce with right hand means left foot forward. I used to work drills like this on this exact same piece of concrete when I was a little kid with dreams of basketball glory. Now I bounce around the room for other reasons but I’m reminded how much ball sports had a place in shaping me in my earlier days. As they say, #ballislife ———————————— Go learn to ? squat with @notfromcolorado
