    I just completed my first day's 10 minutes! I brought my dog out with me, and he enjoyed the grass while I hopped on the deck. 8 minutes in I had to go to the bathroom, but waited. I don't recommend it - it really hurt, just a note. Except for that, it went well!

    Congrats to all who have done day 1! Woot woot! :happy:

    Sounds like a great challenge! Amazing what we used to do as children for fun is now part of a challenge for exercise! Good luck everyone!

    I brought a jump rope a couple of weeks ago and haven't used it yet. this should be fun and interesting. I will go for bronze.

    Great Challenge. I started adding jump rope back into my routine last weekend. Why not go for Ruby! :-) I can't wait to hear how this is going for everyone. I'm in!

    Got 15 minutes in today using the Lifeline USA Power Jump Rope (I have 6 jump ropes, each is ideal for a different style--this one is the best one for general purpose fitness). Would have gone longer but today was a strength day.

    I'd love to try! Do you have to do 10 minutes (for example) in a row?

    Jump roping is excellent as a warm-up and as a workout. I might just do it as my warm-up today.

    15 minutes done today as a warmup to a light suspension trainer core-focused workout. I may or may not do more later after work.

    Cool!
    It depends on which challenge level you go for. Jade and Copper are not back to back minutes. The other levels are consecutive minutes. It is okay if you trip, take a 30 second breather, restart again and again, as long as it is a 10 minute (for example) block-of-time of jump roping. I hope this makes sense :tongue:
