Jump rope , holy cow!

Wanted to let anyone who has hit a plateau.

I saw today most fitness equipment on sale, so saw a Gym jump rope, thought 2 bucks lets try this, get the body working differently, did it when i was a kid GREAT.

HOLY COW thought I was going to passout, Thats one crazy workout if looking to switch it up a little!!!!

Are the calories pretty accurate on the exercise coloum as I have yet to invest in HRM, will be doing that tomarrow though. Anyone know?

Jumping rope is such great exercise. I wish I had a place to do it when its cold outside.:bigsmile:

Back room in our basement is unfinshed the kids rollerblade there, thought it would be a great oppurtunity.

NOW.... Don't laugh, but when I was in Middle School, I was part of the "hip-hop homeschoolers jump rope team".... hahahahahhaaaaa :laugh:

Just thought I'd share that tid-bit. We used to have competitions to see how long you could jump w/o skipping a jump. The contests ALWAYS ended in me and another girl in a stand off...... Man was that good exercise! Keep it up, you'll see results FAST!

My personal trainer says that's the BEST cardio exercise and burns more calories than any other cardio equipment because it works the entire body.

That's it.... All this talk of jumping rope has me totally motivated. I'm getting one this weekend!

Has any one tried the ropeless jump rope call JumpSnap. It is suppose to give you the same workout as a jump rope but without the rope.

Speaking of childhood, is that the thing they had years ago that snaps to your foot and you jump over it as it spins around?

i used to jump rope all the time as a kid and also did the JUMP ROPE FOR HEART every year, going too go buy one once the weather gets better here!!

hahahaha!! I have the same problem!! The BL workout makes you jump in place, and I am always scared.. I buy a sportsbra a size too small, then wear a regular bra, then that... I cant barely breath, but at least I can jump!:laugh:

We used to use the jump rope for offseason training for football. Good workout.

I loved to jump rope, can't so much anymore with my bad leg, but really have thought about the ole hoola-hoop. Heard that was good for the middle. What do ya'll think? :happy:

yea, i wear a SB and a regular bra and i still feel weird. my SB is too small so i seceretly hope it is squishing the fat out of the girls and i pee it out with all the water i drink. i know its not even close to what would actually happen, but hey! its my version of the 'i must, i must, i must decrease my bust' song!

I laughed so hard my neighbors probably heard me!!! I wear the same thing when I play Volleyball... My husband always thinks it's hilarious, but HE doesn't have to worry about the pain that comes with having "the girls"...
