    Wow! That was hard - little kids make it look so easy : ) I ended up breaking it up into 5 min blocks with about 1 - 2 mins break in between. I sweated a ridiculous amount! Also need to work on my coordination.

    I kept trying to best my highest number of consecutive skips - which was only 72 in the end! I am determined by the end of this week I will get to 100 consecutive skips. Ohh wells I enjoyed it. Going to go do RI30 now.

    Have a great day!

    I don't own a jump rope plus I have a weak knee so I decided to do an extra 15 minutes cardio in the gym to make up for this. My gym sesh of 55 minutes cardio and 10 minutes strength training resulted in 563 calories so I am 100% happy with that!
    Let's keep this good work up guys :D

    I sprained my MCL in December so I couldn't do this so instead I used my Stationary bike for 20 minutes and did 30 DS.

    WTG with the walking and making up for the two days you missed!! Dont fret over the jump roping, I havnt even attempted it yet. I am so sore from yesterday's exercising and just dont feel like doing anything but I guess it is only 9am so I still have time. I am going to attempt to do my jump roping but have a feeling I am going to have to break the 15 min up a bit. I also still have to do my 30 DS. I hate days where I feel like doing nothing at all!! I have gone strong, exercising for 10 days in a row now and am exhausted, feel like I need a rest day but really dont want to so going to push myself to get my exercising done today!!! Good luck to everyone!!

    Well I didn't have a jump rope and I have a leg injury that makes it difficult to jump at all but I improvised and did 15 minutes of my "jumping rope" Thanks for the challenge and the motivation!

    No jump rope, so I walked 7 miles to the Y and climbed 80 flights of stairs. I also completed RI30 and 50 jumping jacks. I'm motivated by another poster and will get in 50 crunches before supper tonight.

    I always do the girly push-ups. They seem to be getting easier for my since I started the 30 DS. My goal is to be the end of the 30 DS which is in 20 days, to be able to do 10 regular push-ups!! We shall see!!
