Yep, that's exactly where I got mine from If it's a Gyles one you bought, I can tell you I'm impressed with the quality for £2!
Happy skipping!
Tomorrow, I shall endeavour to try and skip as close to 5 minutes as I can!0 -
My status yesterday was about skipping. Its hard!!
My trainer added 3 minutes of skipping with 90 seconds of abs x9. I was like, no problem. Then I tried it. At first I could only manage 2 minute rounds. And by 2 minutes, I mean skip a few times, get caught up, take a break, then repeat. I had shin splint and my calves hurt the next day.
I am now up to 3 minutes with few breaks, less than 10 seconds every minute. I still can't go long periods without getting caught up.0 -
Yes, skipping is hard -- shockingly, I know, since it was so easy when I was 8! lol
My passion is kickboxing, and we skip 5 mins on average to warm up. That was hard as hell in the beginning, but now it's nothing at all. Bootcamp warmup is a solid 10 minutes, and really, that's a piece of cake now, too (once you've built the endurance).
Keep going, you'll get there. Put on good music, find your rhythm, and watch boxer's skipping techniques. Very few jump straight up and down.0 -
I bought a rope a week ago and yet to use it. I am planning to start skipping in the car garage of my apartment building so that I dont disturb the folks who live below me and also because it is a covered garage.0
