Has anyone ever used a Skip-It to increase their cardio? I thought about buying a jump rope for home but I thought a Skip-It would be fun! :)

    I spend an hour at the gym each night... doing things like the elliptical, stair stepper, weights and resistance bands.. I just thought it would be fun to do something at home too!

    Actually I want to do more cardio when I get home so I can lose more weight. I don't want to spend hours upon hours in the gym after teaching all day- I'd like to get home to my family.

    Clean and Jerks, Snatches, thrusters, front squats = not true cardio. I mean unless your doing them while your running haha

    I haven't thought of about skip its in years. I know I was able to work up a sweat when I was 8 I couldn't imagine now nearing 30. I'd be happy if the thing fit around my ankle and didn't get stuck LOL. It sounds like a blast to me.

    Whatever gets you moving. I bet it would be fun.

    And duh. Of course I do cardio to eat more.

    Hi! Edited to give a fresh start to a new thread. (sorry-as an MFP Moderator)

    I think Skip it would be a ball!! I love my jumprope and have been known to take a pc of chalk and make a hop scotch board on the driveway.

    Whatever gets your HR up and is fun at the same time is awesome!!:flowerforyou:

    I love the idea of a skip it! I will do anything fun... I had 4 wheel roller skates and a razor scooter.

    Why not a skip it? And then a pogo stick! :)

    Hey, athletes jump rope for exercise. They work well. I think a skip it would be a great blast and would get you to work up a sweat. I say go for it!

    Aww, now I miss my Skip-It! Ah, to be seven years old again, tripping over a plastic cord attached to a weight that would invariably smack me in the leg after I let my concentration slip and lost the rhythm. Those were good days.

    Awesome idea! I think I still have my pink Skip It that I used to play with in grade school. I'm totally going to look for it today. Thanks for the great idea!

    Hoola hoop- 2 min
    Jump rope- 2 min
    Hop scotch- 2 min

    How fun is that!!

    I bet that would be so much fun, and a great way to do some cardio at home with the kiddos. I wish I still had mine now. Might have to see if I can find another one.
