    Jumping rope is my main means of cardio and has been for a couple years. One of the tricks I used to get good was I did it while watching movies, and I "rewarded" myself for duration by being able to continue with the movie. When I had to call it quits I would pause or stop the movie until the next day at which point I resumed it. I got up to the point where I could do it consistently for up to 45 minutes at a time taking only short breaks (like 30 seconds or so every few minutes). I now use a weighted rope.

    Whoa! That is really cool! Great idea :smile:

    I'm in.... Long term goal is ruby and short term goal is 1 minute without tripping. Lol. Great idea for a challenge!

    Yes, they need to include a goal for those folks with two left feet...and who cannot walk and chew gum at the same time. That would be the Copper goal...lol!

    Woops, just realized I don't have a copper level. I'll make one :happy:

    Sounds like a great challenge. I bought a jump rope and after my PT had it as part of my training session and I remembered how much I loved it when I was a kid.

    This inspires me to pull it out and use it.
