Jumping Rope?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I was reading how jumping rope is a great inexpensive cardio.

Since i have been slacking I thought i would give it a try - i knew deep down in the corner of a closet there would be the jump rope i bought centuries ago.

So i try it.

Not having much luck since i think my loft may not be the right space... so off to the garage I go.. crack the door a bit and try.

Holy Schmoley! I remember being able to jump rope. I think...

Now i could get barely past 4 or 5 before screwing it all up.

I know i have significant dork-tendencies but now i feel like i should google the proper way to jump rope since i obviously dont know what i am doing!

Anyone else have any success with this childhood wonder?

Sonia

LOL...this made me laugh. I actually picked up a jump rope to buy the other day and then put it back down. Maybe I will have to get one now and see if I can do it.

The first thought that came to my mind was WHY??? I had daughter do exactly what they were doing without having their jump rope in her hands. I say save the 60 bucks and buy some good shoes!!!

This is funny!!! Just last week I bought a jump rope. It is actually the 2nd jump rope I have purchased! I dont know what the problem is - when I was a kid - heck a piece of laundry rope worked well enough but now I cant seem to make the rope work. I dont know if they are too long or too light weight or what the heck the problem is but I just cant seem to get it right. I thought how hard can this be but I am finding I am having a very difficult time indeed- enlighten me please.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
