skipping rope as alternative

Nothing wrong with skipping rope, just be sure you don't go outside in that
ballerina's pink tutu. You'll likely get the [censored] beat outta ya.

It is very strenous. There is not a lot of transfer between
running, and jumping rope, at least not for me. Three min,
and I'm winded. Give it a try.

It's a matter of economy. Until you get good at skipping, you will
skip inefficiently (excessive vertical motion) and burn a lot of
energy, which tires you out. Running will do a lot for your
cardiovascular fitness, but absolutely nothing for your skipping
skills.

Gee, I would give it a try, but my dignity keeps getting in the way.
How do you do it?

I don't have to worry about bouncing [censored]🙂

Most of the time in the boxing gym, all we did was run and jumped rope.
Jumping rope just does something to ya in another way. I think they call it
stamina.

Skipping sure beats running in the cold and wet...also great skill
transfer for alpine skiing.

Looks really cool in a pink tutu too!

Carver,
I have no issues with you jumping rope, however the pigtails is going a
bit far.
