4. My Humble Cerebellum Exercises Part1

I wanted to try and emulate the exercises given to attendees of the Dore Programme, but not having done the programme myself, I had to guess what they were! I knew the exercises improved balance and hand / eye co-ordination, through repetition. They also had to be something that the subject was not used to, in order for the cerebellum to be in its full ‘learning mode’.

So I thought juggling would be the perfect trick to learn. I used two promotional foam balls to begin with, and I was the most hopeless anyone could imagine. So I went down to one, and I was still hopeless with my right (writing) hand, and worse with my left.

I was just throwing the ball up to eye level ten times with each hand, and it was like someone else was controlling my hands; the balls were going off to the side every time! I was astounded by how awful I was at it! Demoralised I gave up, but only temporarily.

Go to
www.Dore.co.uk and see how it should be done!

By the way, I’m not an affiliate or anything. I’m just a very giving person!
