360 degrees

So I managed to pull off a good session with the jump rope.  I even made it to 60. . . once.  Even though I could only make it to 25 the other times I was happy with the improvement.  The first thing I did was turn off my tv.  Instead of trying to jump rope and pay attention to the tv at the same time I was able to just focus on the jump roping.  Once I did that I noticed I was making it harder than it actually is.  I slowed down the tempo and relaxed my shoulders and just tried to keep a steady rhythm.  It seemed to work and made to work out process a lot easier.

  2. When I started keeping the action in my wrists during jump rope, it got easier.

  3. I was in the park this morning jumping rope when someone said good morning (i was at like 52 or something) and that totally tripped me up. We both laughed, but apparently my brain doesn't do well with talking and jumping at the same time. lol. Great job on getting to 60!!
