Not for me because I got a treadmill for that reason. I live in Florida and it is hotter than hells hangover! I have no patience for running around humans, cracks in sidewalk or any of that!
I have a crossrope and the metal ropes with the ball bearing are so easy. I've barely tripped. The cheapo plastics, ok they'll work. So will one from the dollar store. But it gets tangled whereas the metal ones won't. It swings around your body nice…
I have a crossrope and I've found if you adjust your pace you can go longer. It gets easier. I think it's normal with something that highly aerobic, to have to take a break.
Shaun T's great. T25 is one of his best routines and intense. After this is Insanity. A lot of this is all HIIT and no equipment needed. He also has a step bench workout he started, I like it a lot. Whatever you do, just do what's fun and keeps you …
I weighed myself and discovered I had gained 30 pounds! Hadn't weighed myself in a while and too much "comfort" eating..so back to using the app etc etc..
so I finally broke down and bought the Get Lean Set from Crossropes. I've jumped rope for a while and no issues with coordination, but taking things a little at a time.
I made a jumprope from some metal wire I got at home depot, but have to adjust it. Its what I can afford right now. Im trying to get on board, now first thing is to learn the boxer step!
