As I'm unable to run because of my shin injury, and have no working bicycle, my training plan has been reduced to strength training, walking and juggling.
I have found that if I spend a good hour juggling to music and doing tricks of various kinds, it can be quite a cardiovascular workout. Last night I was working on juggling three beanbags with one arm behind my back. After about 10 minutes of trying this on both side, I collapsed onto the couch, my heart racing like I had just run intervals at the track. Later on, working on 5-ball endurance and 5-ball half-showers, I found myself out of breath again.
So either I'm getting really out of shape, or juggling can be great cardio exercise.

Best juggling excersizes I'm aware of:
A - Balls. Sit on your backside. Juggling the balls with continuous under the legs. Similar to laying on your back and doing sissor kicks. Great Abb workout.
B - Clubs - Continuous Under the legs from both legs. Good Abb, Good Cardio
Weighted Balls. You can put approx 110 pennies in a tennis ball. Instant Weighted ball. Juggle 5. Lead Shot can be used for even heavier balls.
Good ideas, thanks. I tried out the seated under the legs one, and yes, that's definitely a workout.
I'm still trying to learn continuous clubs under the legs.
I would have to consider doing anything with clubs cardio training :)
