  • October Hula hoop and jump rope challenge!

    Hey everyone,

    Sorry I'm a little late with this one again!

    Here is how to take part in this challenge:

    Bored of the gym - all that serious slogging away on the treadmill? Want to go back to those carefree days of childhood when exercise was just like playing?

    Want an exercise you can even do inside if you don't mind breaking lamps and family members laughing at you?

    Please note you don't have to do both if you don't want to!

    NB skipping can be tough on the knees, especially if you still have a lot of weight to lose, so please be careful to wear good quality trainers to mimise impact, try a softer surface and stop if it hurts!

    NB Hula hooping can be tough on your dignity. Please only attempt it with a silly grin on your face.

    How to sign up:
    1) Copy and paste your name onto the list in the post below this one
    2) State your MONTHLY jump rope minutes goal like this JR 5/20 IF DOING
    4) State your MONTHLY hula-hooping minutes goal as HH 5/20 IF DOING
    3) Report as often as you like by updating the ENTIRE list

    Who's in for October?

                    Wait a minute - I have a jump rope. Why not put it to use? Sounds like fun - strap on the MP3 player and off I go. Wish me luck - it's been awhile (and I think I'd sprain something trying to work a hula-hoop again after all this time; kudos to those who still can!). Big Love S.

                      This thread is too quiet!

                      I hope everyone is just busy keeping their hula hoop up or not falling on their nose when jumping rope.

                      Another 50 min for me.

                        Well I was being ill (mildly but persistently). Did 13 mins skip in class today - felt terrible and I've only had a week off!

                          Holy cow! 13 minutes??? I'm glad you're alive.

                          I've been pretty lazy with this challenge, but today I kicked my **** and did another 20 min.
