Here is Friday Fast Fitness - Train speed and eye-hand coordination while having fun.

Have you seen martial arts movies where the master catches a fly with his chopsticks? The true master doesn't restrain or harm the lives of others. In the spirit of healthful exercise, World Vegetarian month and higher spirit, try this instead:

1. Tear a sheet of paper to different size pieces
2. Throw in the air
3. Catch as many pieces as you can as they flutter downward.

Want more? Use only one hand to catch. Then switch.

You can play this with children too. Get more exercise and prevent pain by using healthy bending to pick pieces up and start again.

Have fun.
