Though you may regard it as the province of circus performers, juggling is finding a growing group of enthusiasts who are taking to the activity for its aerobic quotient.

Ryan, who also is a psychologist, adds that the endeavor also improves hand-eye coordination.

”It`s definitely just novelty,” Ryan says.
