  • July Hula AND/OR Jump Rope Challenge

    This challenge is for hula-hooping AND/OR jump rope - you don't have to do both! Pick one and join us, or go for both. If you meet your goals there is an award for your signature.

    Want to be insanely fit? Try jump rope (or skipping as you may know it as)! Skipping is great for your cardio fitness - if you don't believe me try and skip for 5 mins straight. It can be fun too and if you're a bit advanced you can do all kinds of tricks.

    Hula is great to do, and easy to fit into your life - you can do it in front of the TV and it can be toning.

    If you fancy trying either of these consider joining this challenge for some less traditional, and very fun, exercise.

    In this challenge you can do hula-hooping and/or jumping rope. Your goal is set by you - just state the number of minutes you wish to do in both activities (or only one) in the list.

    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 minimize 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 minute goal like this: JR 5/20
    3) State your MONTHLY hula-hooping minute goal like this: HH 5/20
    4) Report as often as you like by updating the ENTIRE list

    Who is with me for joyous July?

    Re: July Hula AND/OR Jump Rope Challenge

    I am of course in I skip as part of kickboxing and I need to get up to 20 solid minutes. Yikes-a-roo. I'm going to take it easy at first, just 3 min stints the first week, then go for fives, and build up to tens etc.

    Hula I have less time for, but going for 30 mins to keep my hand in.

          Hi Alexa,
          I am in for the jump rope and the hula. I have been looking for this tag for a week now, but I was looking under exercise and challenge. I am glad some told me you were doing it. I had to look up your name on the member list to find this tag. I hope it is okay that I added this to the challenge and exercise challenge in hopes that someone else my see it and want to join as well. Since I have already missed 6 days with today. I will do JR 50 minutes, I haven't jumped rope in years that is 2 minutes a day and HH 100 minutes. Hopefully others will join soon

              Re: July Hula AND/OR Jump Rope Challenge

              Jumping rope is very hard to do if you have not done it for a while. It had me breathing harder than I was when I did my workout videos. I haven't bought a hula hoop yet. But I will start this weekend.

                      Re: July Hula AND/OR Jump Rope Challenge

                      Man, jumping rope is very hard to do, but I am so excited, it is getting a little easier and I am able to jump longer so who knows maybe one day I will be able to jump for the whole 2 minutes without stopping and getting so tired. I am still breathing very hard when I finish, but it doesn't take as long to recover after I finish as it did in the beginning.

                          Pretty Lady - you are doing great! You will definately get to that point I felt the same when I started.

                          Alexa = JR 22/150 * HH 5/30
                          Pretty Lady = JR 13/50 * HH 0/100

                          I am way off goal here, but managed 5 mins skip last night. I'm not sure whether to run this challenge for August - would you want to join it Pretty Lady?

                            Yes I would and I finally got my hula hoop so I will work on it as well. I will have to start with less and build my way up.
                            JR 40* HH 50 just until I get better at this one.

                              Sorry to be so late with this Pretty Lady, but I'll set it up now! And thanks so much for the interest!
