You know the old adage about riding a bike, I can tell you now that skipping rope is not the same. As I have been trying to get ready for Ice Donkey, I incorporated skipping rope into my work out.
I remember the good old days of "Jump Rope for Heart," where I could skip for 30-40 mins... I think?
Crossovers, Double Dutch, there was nothing that I couldn't do. Now I realize that my body has given up on me. Probably it is more likely that I have gotten older. Now If I can do 5 mins without tripping on the rope I am happy. At the same time, now I am finding out that my knees and ankles don't like the impact.
I guess that I will have to find something else to do for cardio.
Not a big fan of this reality!
