July Jump Rope and Hula Hoop Challenge

Re: July Jump Rope and Hula Hoop Challenge

Well it looks pretty lonely in here right now so I'll let you run amok like a loose canon

8 mins skip today in one go under watchful eye of kickboxing instructor who kept telling me to double cross overs (ok, not too bad) and double jumps (which I suck at).

Re: July Jump Rope and Hula Hoop Challenge

I never could hula hoop. I will have to look into the wii

Re: July Jump Rope and Hula Hoop Challenge

It takes a bit of practice. I've found a bigger hoop helps, if you're interested. Wii is intriguing, I don't know who has it I can practice on. Unless I head over to your's Lyssie?

Re: July Jump Rope and Hula Hoop Challenge

You can come over here. I've been slacking. I need to get like, 20min of hula time in today.

Re: July Jump Rope and Hula Hoop Challenge

250 is a lot. I'd get bored I think. Good for watching TV though (though not on a wii I guess).

Can you feel it in your abs at all? Do you think it is slightly cardio? I can't feel it, but I did get slightly out of breath earlier, though I had just been doing other stuff.

Hi there,

You are very welcome to join us. Good luck with your goal. You are free to add hula later if you get one. Mine was from ebay and it is big for adults.

Re: July Jump Rope and Hula Hoop Challenge

I did 15 min - so now it's:

*Alexa* JR 24/60 * HH 18/20
Tomorrow JR 0/60
Lyssie HH 37/250

I *do* feel it in abs, and it can be cardio, but I'm not sure if it's real cardio or because my lung capacity sucks from smoking again - but I can still run, so I think it's quite possible it's real cardio. Hrm.

Re: July Jump Rope and Hula Hoop Challenge

I did it again today and it is kinda cardio. Not as much a JR which kills me - man who'd have thought it was be so hard to skip??

Re: July Jump Rope and Hula Hoop Challenge

How is everyone getting on? We have 5 days left of July!

I went to kickboxing yesterday and did 15 mins in 3 min intervals, with one min rest. It was so hot and I thought I was going to sick/faint. Anyway, it made me reach my goal! Woo!
