RE: Jumping...

This group is kinda slow getting started. I feel a bit bad because I haven't been trying very hard. I find jumping rope so intense, but now that I've been running regularly, I should try it again.

RE: Jumping...

That's pretty much the same thing here dope! I havn't really been up to the best standards in exercising this week so I think I might do some jump roping after all it's great calorie burning!

RE: Jumping...

I know I need to do more. The thing that is important to me is I need a higher impact exercise. The majority of my cardio is done on the elliptical and my body is not building up a tolerance for higher impact sports (jogging and running) and so when I do try and jog or run I am getting massive shin splints. I keep stretching and knowing it will come at some point. So I am hoping jumping rope will help.

I am planning to take my jump rope with me on my vacation so I will plan to do more with it then. :-)

Yesterday I managed to skip for 15 minutes. I'm hoping I can do some more today.

How about how many minutes without stopping we jump each day? And then we can see if we get better and better.

RE: I bought a rope

It is tough!! But I'm going to keep at it, even if I can barely do a minute right now. I'm going to keep adding a little bit each time until I can at least get up to five minutes. I remember jumping rope as a kid and I don't remember it being so hard!!

RE: I bought a rope

I know what you mean, I use to spen hours as a kid playing with my Skipit (does anyone eles remember those?) and trying to get the counter up to 999 without stopping. We even had a jump rope club, and a charity jump-a-thon in school, Why is it so difficult now?

RE: I bought a rope

I actually have a rope that I bought a long time ago and for some reason never stuck with it. This sounds like a good time to start using it...just the new twist I need to rekindle my enthusiasm. I get bored so easily so it's good to have a new challenge.

RE: I bought a rope

I must admit it is difficult and I totally know what you mean about it use to being so easy!

RE: Welcome!

I am not at a point where jumping rope is actually practical for me yet. However, I would like to participate in this group because it is something that I think I would like to set as a goal for myself - to be working out by jumping rope. I never thought I would join a gym, so jumping rope should be 'doable' soon!! I'll let you know!

RE: Welcome!

Well, I guess this gives me just the push I need to go out and buy that jump rope I have been talking about for the last week or so. Thanks!

RE: Welcome!

I haven't jumped rope since elementary school, but I just moved and can't get to a gym anymore. I have heard great things about that jumping rope can do for you - is it feasible indoors (when you are 5'11")? And I can only imagine the strain my sports bra will experience.....lol

Yay, I got a jump rope, an inexpensive one but it has a counter on it. I am excited to see how high I can get!

RE: Welcome!

I definitely suck at it!! But I'm not going to accept defeat!! I'm going to work on it everyday until I can do it. My mini-goal is to get up to five minutes jumping at at time.

RE: Welcome!

I stink at it, too. And I don't like the cheap jump rope I just bought so I may go get another one (I know, I should have gotten the one I really wanted in the first place). And I second that sports bra comment. D cups aren't meant for jumping :)

RE: Welcome!

Oy vey I hear ya! I have been working on my jump rope and can sustain up to 30 seconds without feeling like I am going to throw up. LOL The sports bra I have just isn't enough. I need underwire! :-) Thanks for the invite.

to bandmom: Unless you have vaulted ceilings jumping rope isn't going to work indoors. I usually do mineon my back porch or in the garage or even the driveway later at night. LOL I live on a pretty busy road and I don't think all the rush hour traffic cares to watch me jump rope. :-)
