    During the last year, I have surprised myself by learning how to add rope jumping (skipping) to my exercise routine. You can use any type of rope that works for you. Here is a introductory jumping video by the founder of Crossrope. They sell premium quality (and price ) ropes/handles/ and sets.
    It is really helping me to use the rope as the cardio-blast intervals in my workouts.

    I have posted a youtube video on rope jumping (skipping). During the last year, I surprised myself by adding ropes to my cardio-interval day workouts. I really like the way that I can control my speed and time. The ropes are allow me to keep myself safe and still achieve an anaerobic state after a few intervals.
    I hope you consider the idea of using ropes to improve your routine.

    @RangerRickL, I’m with you, there. I love incorporating skipping rope intervals in my circuit training. It gets the heart rate up and really increases the intensity of the workout. Very good anaerobic exercise.

    Yes x3. I guess I am becoming the exercise leader at work. I am now walking with everyone. The beginner's who can barely walk to the people training for the big leagues who are going for indurance so they have talked me into assisting. I shall walk no matter what let's see how long everyone lasts. I think my beginner walkers will stay more consistent than the advanced group.

    My posting isn't the best but I'm eating right and tracking consistently. Have not missed a workout yet. Had a great quick ski day on Wednesday. Bus up and back (3 hours each way) 7 hours of slope time. Skied about 5 hours of it. I've backed off on any lower body work -- no squats or lunges-- to save my legs for skiing. Added more core and planks. Next week work needs my full attention so no days off to ski
    Hugs to you @bocasdelbadbob . You give so much.

    yes x3
    I'm finding it hard to track, I'm doing it, but it's a huge chore that I hate. Maybe I need to eat the same thing every day.

    Exercise ✅ weights
    Calories ✅ just under
    Logging ✅

    Had a crazy day and ended up going out for dinner. I was starving, but thankfully I looked up the menu before getting there and logged so when my husband asked if I wanted an appetizer I was able to say no without hesitating.

    Yes x3!
    Today came dangerously close to being a pass but I pulled it off, just barely. Going to try to keep the calories a bit lower tomorrow to offset the not so great choices I made today

    Yes x3. Pretty low calorie day but also fairly low activity aside from the 30 minute upper body superset routine I did.

    I am struggling to check in. I want to do it at the end of the day and then forget. :'(

    I did the dog walk and then went for a walk round a park in the north of the valley which I thought was lovely. Then my friend told em about all the scary stuff that happens there after dark. It’s amazing to me that a simple park can have polar opposite patrons from night to day, but I do live in crazy town.

    I also went for orientation to do some volunteer work. Not sure it’s for me, I will have to think long and hard about it
