Re: February Jump Rope Challenge

Tomorrow's the big day!! My jump rope and I are having lengthy conversations....coming to terms with each other My first mini goal is to do 5 jumps in a row without tripping over the rope

Re: February Jump Rope Challenge

I'm sure you'll be able to do that!

I'm out of town on a trip so will have to start with gusto on Monday.

Good luck everyone.

When you report please copy the latest list, put in your result and paste the whole thing. Thanks

Re: February Jump Rope Challenge

Well kids, I had my first minute today, although I unashamedly admit that it took almost 3 hours to do it!
A short play-by-play.....jump #1 and 2....stop...go put on sports bra jumps 3-10.....well, we're up to about 18 seconds now. No, it really doesn't take that long to do 10 jumps, unless, of course, you're spending time unraveling the rope from your feet between jumps. Stop. Plop in seat and try to regain normal breathing and heart rythm. Repeat several times over the next few hours. Heck, I might have achieved 61 seconds!!

Re: February Jump Rope Challenge

By the way, did you know that if you do it right, you can hit yourself in the back of the head with the jumprope!?!?!?!

Re: February Jump Rope Challenge

Re: February Jump Rope Challenge

ok...I have to admit....I thought this was going to be pretty easy, but apparently I haven't jumped rope in 20 years because that Kicked My Butt!

but I did get 2 minutes in though......took 10 to do it, in intervals, but I did it!

Amazing isn't it. I never gave a thought to this being exhausting when i was a kid. In fact, we were likely to go swimming or hiking or play another game afterwards!! How I wish I had stayed that way!!

Re: February Jump Rope Challenge

Amen to that. I remember being with this family that was very strict with the kids. We wanted to go swimming after working in the field so we ran through the woods all the way to the creek behind my house, swam, and ran home. That had to be no less than 12 miles round trip.

I did my first two minutes today. I had my son click the start and stop button on the stop watch. I used an online stop watch in case anyone is interested...here is the link!
