Jump rope

I got my jump rope in the mail a few months ago. In stead of starting right away I took some time to read my book and get an idea for proper form. I have been jumping inside on carpet bear foot. When I mess up the PVC cord of the speed rope catches me right in the toes. I was so focused on staying on the balls of my feet that I didn’t realize my heals were too high making my toes point down. This wasn’t a solve all however and I am still catching my feet. I will get my timing down and my muscles will build up a memory. I find that this is a great meditation. When I am distracted, Whack! right in the toes. My core is getting stronger and I am getting more chest. I’m looking forward to mastering the basic jump so that I can move on to alternating feet.

This is the best quality speed jump rope I could find. I can’t wait for it to come in.

Check out Buddy Lee. Buddy Lee is THE name in jump rope.

I have a book coming in and I’m going to get the best speed rope I can get. I have a cotton rope which has too much drag. The more I read about jump roping the more amazing and excited I get about it. I’m sure that it will help my hacky sack game.

The song “Heartbeat” by War is a 7 minute song. I’ve set a goal to jump rope for the entire length of that song. I prefer this over counting jumps. I want to think about more than numbers when I’m working out. I can’t get around counting for weightlifting.

I found both of my nice jump ropes in the attic when I was looking for something else. I got carried away with it and my legs were way sore. Healthy heart is the way to go. The work out will help my Hacky Sack game too.
