      but this video has definitely been preventing my carpal tunnel problems ever since i started using it, i have been stamina training in my video game alot and im not feeling any carpal tunnel like i usually felt

    if you ever felt like putting together a warm-up/stretching routine for jugglers, there's a huge community that would really appreciate it haha. dunno how much you know about juggling but the repetitive motions can cause a lot of problems, especially considering how many folks don't even realize the stress they're putting their bodies through.

    I started this routine again two days ago, in the past I didn't do it for a long time, so in the future I will come back and tell what has changed, whether in my work schedule or in my playing time
    my friends always talk about and recommend this video to me, so I know there will be good results, thanks for the video 👍
