Recreation A New 'Rub-your-tummy-pat-your-head' excercise

I've been rather miscellaneous lately, haven't I?

Well, I discovered something that I think could be interesting to you, my fellow members of M2A.

Here is an interesting excercise:

• Sit in a chair (you probably already are, but whatever).
• Lift your right (or left) leg a little off the ground.
• Move your leg in a circular, clockwise motion.
• Now, with your right (or left) hand, draw a number six in the air.
• What direction is your foot going, there, buddy?

A way of getting around this (don't read if you haven't done the excercise yet :anger2: ): Draw the number six in a clockwise direction as well, starting from the middle.

Okay, any other interesting things like that to try? Experiences? Etc?

 

I couldn't draw a 6 just an 0. And my leg was going all wonky as well!

Should i be worried about that?

 

My ankle cept clicking from an old injury... but i dont think that was what you were looking for :sweat2:

 

The 6 was easy! Try writing a sentence in mid-air with your finger instead (my leg started getting uneasy!)

 

It caught me, soooo instantly!

Right leg immediately changed direction to follow my right hand that was drawing '6'...

Try this: Draw a square with one limb, and a circle with another... awful!!!

 

me the most untalented person ever can somehow do this. yet psyeudkev i tried that and i did it once and... well its rather a horrible incident involving a broken plant. ::shudders::

My problem is that I draw the six backwards. I feel so insane and thus I dub this the insanity test. I gots to go and be insane

 

And since we're all now insane, why don't we all try it with individual fingers - on the same hand

I think I need not mention about individual toes, do I?

 

hmm...that was a little difficult, but I got the hang of it after a couple seconds. Whats better is this:

• you know how you twiddle your thumbs? well, do the same thing, except with your pointer/index fingers
• now, make one finger make a circle going fowards, and another going backwards, so both fingers are twirling in opposite directions

pretty hard, huh? some people, like my older brother, can get used to it in a snap, but others, like myself, find it really difficult.

You might notice something...continue to twirl your fingers but instead of having them close to each other like you're twidling your thumbs, point fowards. Both fingers are making circles in the same direction, and it's pretty darn easy to do that. But when they're together, it's a lot harder. I've tried switching from pointing fowards to twiddling while still making cirles with my eyes closed, pretending that they're still pointing fowards...but it doesn't work for me... :anger2:

 

I tried it with my fingers; it didn't work. :dizzy2: My fingers got all tangly and I had to resort to using an electric saw to get them untangled...please don't mention it any more...it's rather painful to talk about

I tried it with my toes--heck, I couldn't even twirl my big toe!!!!

 

Please don't double-post. I call your attention to the edit button at the bottom of your posts.

So far, I've been able to do most of these excercises , but they're certainly a great deal of fun! I still haven't gotten this thumb-twiddling thing down.

 

I've got a feeling my fingers will desert me if I continue twiddling them

This one seems to be a killer to me: Move your arm (the biceps part) clockwise/anti-clockwise, then, continue that while making the forearm (the 'lower' arm) go the opposite direction. I feel like breaking the limb off...

To anyone that dares to go that extra mile and putting his/her limbs at risk, try this: do the above and add the hand/fingers to the equation, again, opposite directions (that means 3 different parts/joints).

I hold no responsibility
