Jumping Rope (aka Skipping)
November 07, 2008, 05:13:34 pm
Just got myself a rope to jump :bounce:. I'm sure I read of others on here using them (something about pre-Soviet collapse steel ropes :shrug:)
Can anyone recommend good routines?

Cheers,
Matt

(other)Drew skips to get the blood flowing. I'd try and keep the "my grandma and your grandma" songs silent though as this may be a little OTT

This may work well of a Thursday evening.
