I'm all about the timed jumprope. When I was counting it was normal straight forward basically tedious jumping. All I thought about was counting and if anything it just messed me up. Once I got to like 500-600 I would get confused and mess up. Now it's like a walk in the park, or a short beach. I'm jumping this way and that, moving my feet around side to side and front to back. When I hear the timer I always try to do some kind of trick. I'm not there yet, but I'm going to keep trying. I mean it's still not necessarily "fun" but it's a hell of a lot better and I'm not dreading the ol' jumprope. I likes.
Workouts have been harder in the sense that the third exercise for the muscle group is tiring but not impossible. Nothings impossible, right? We're fantastic carrot, whatever that means. I feel like I wanna make some t-shirts for us. I just made a bunch of funny baby t-shirts I'm surprising my sister with, and then I went crazy and made some shirts for my band. I'm going to ask one of my graphic design guys to hook up a logo. I guess that's not much of a surprise but if I make them I'd have to have shirt sizes and addys anyways. Shirt sizes would have to be decided after the whole thing anyways. So fuck it, that would have to be later and the logo would have to be awesome.
Food is food what can I say. I went to my chef friend for spice recipes but all of his stuff included salt and he pre-mixed. Whateves. I'm kinda back in "just eat and it's not really that bad, and hey it's pretty fresh and good, so shut it" mode. Which is a long name for a mode but is really easy to do. I did notice I've got to slow down with the actual eating part, so I've been trying to catch myself in the act and slow it down.
Blah. I've got nothing more. I should write all my blogs after a bears game. Blah.
What are you talking about--it's a good, solid blog post. Maybe I'll steal your trick of trying something different when the buzzer sounds. I'm still just straight-ahead, plug-along with my jumps. And those third exercises are killer.
ReplyDeleteT-shirts! What a fantastic idea. Mine will have to be small, please (hah!). I wonder if a carrot could bend near the bottom, so it looked like it was flying through the air in a kung-fu kick?
i really hated counting the jumps - like you, i'm much more free now that a timer is keeping track. been trying to practice some tricks too - and failing miserably. but at least it makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a big fan of timed jumps.
ReplyDeletewhen i try tricks on timed jumps it makes the time go so much faster! i've also found that if i kinda do a little walk in place type jump, it's easier. has anyone else played around with this? still haven't been able to make it through a full 3 minutes without tripping, but working on it!
