I'm determined to be able to jump rope, and hula hoop like when I was a kid! Anyone else jump rope or hula hope?

Bought a jump rope but went at it too enthusiastically and injured my Achilles. I intend to get back to it but will definitely go slowly and build up to it this time.2

I jump rope! It was my Christmas gift! Great exercise!3

I have 3 hula hoops. I do arms, legs, but just can’t do what I did when I was a kid. It’s fun to try!2

This isn't very current, but still some good info.

I have both, and threw in a pogo stick for good measure it is fun! Although way harder than I ever remember as a kid! I definitely have to take jump rope slow (got out of the habit, been wanting to start back up) because I get shin splints easily so I make sure I have cushy shoes on when I do it.2

No hula hoop but I do jump rope on occasion. This week, I did 5 minutes before my run and another 5 minutes afterwards. The rope is super portable in a fanny pack.
Hooping sounds like a BUNCH of fun though! Also, I think there are weighted hoops now too which ups the ante on the cardio 😅💦1 -
Jump Rope Dudes! youtube them...
Yes you can learn.1 -
I bought a hula hoop on a complete whim a few months back.
It’s been on my bucket list. Silly, I know, but, I’ve never been able to do one and was always the subject of ridicule when I tried.
I watched a “how to video” on their site and to my astonishment was able to do it on the first try.
I believe you could have heard me hollering on the next block. Big ole fat sloppy grin, maybe even a tear or two.
I’d love to learn to do several at once like a friend, and maybe get some of those light-up ones. As a kid, I dreamed of running away and joining the circus. Maybe I could be my own sideshow, lol.3 -
Glad to see so many people enjoying hula hooping and jump roping! I did buy the weighted hula hoop, so I've been practicing. I'm jumping rope about 5 min a day. It's definitely a workout.2

I've always wanted to jump rope but just don't have the stamina to stay with it very long. But last year I got my hula hoop out and did it 15-30 minutes a day for a few months. It was great fun doing it to the music! But then, I got lazy. And have yet to pick it up again. My sister was making them for awhile and having local stores sell them so she gave me one; it's a nice one. I'd never been able to do it before using that one.4
