Half a steak (leftover from dinner, 4cm x 3cm) and half an apple for breakfast just didn't do it for me this morning. So added a cup of black coffee in addition to usual huge glass of water. Already hungry and thinking about lunch 10 minutes later.
500 skips went well. Hardest part was the counting. Had to use a marker to remind me where I was. Really enjoyed it and took Karim’s advice to alternate legs. I now do two skips with one leg leading then a funky little hop mid-air to change to two steps with the alternate leg. I managed to keep going a lot longer than normal without fumbling, but towards the 470 mark became quite tired and fumbled quite a bit those last 30. Great feeling to have finished. Did my session in a public car park!! Will be interesting to see where I can do my skipping over the next 83 days…..
Connie,
ReplyDeleteBuy a jump rope wiht a counter on it, it makes life so much easier.

Ditto to what Tony said. The counter makes it so much easier. I got mine from Tokyu Hands
ReplyDeleteI just do my skips in lots of 20 as this is a good target to aim for and easy to count to. I try to do as many lots of 20 before I flub it and then I start from 1 again. Then I just check my counter from time to time to see where I am overall.
I do my skips with both feet as I don't know how to do it with one foot.
Tokyu Hands has sold out of skipping ropes with counters... but I did get new resistance bands (better than the ones I had) and new push up bars (with soft foam and a counter). Will trawl amazon.co.jp and Rakuten for the rope.... like your method of skipping. Am having a lot of trouble today.... feel like I have spent the entire day eating. Not hungry in the least but am about to start my lunch..... everything is a bit delayed because of having to think so much. I can't imagine how I would have coped if I was also working!
