I picked up a $2 jump rope at Walmart this weekend – and no it wasn’t from the kids section! Decided to use it today at lunchtime in the gym. What a SPAZ I am! I was laughing so hard at myself – thought I was going to have an accident. Seriously – how hard is it to jump a rope? I see my 9 year old do it all day long! Well, I had to start with baby steps….first doing two step skips – about 5 minutes later I was able to jump with both feet at the same time. Then it took another 10 minutes to not get tangled in the rope for more than 5 jumps. However – I did get a good cardio workout, which was my goal. Once I get a little better I may actually buy a better rope.
Last night I had to cook dinner – James had to work the late shift, so he left some cutlets ready to cook. In the mail was my Sweaty Bands!!! The ones I won on The Marathon Show. Aren’t they GORGEOUS? I brought one in to work today to try out. Will let you know how they work.
