Benefits of rope jumping
Jumping rope is inexpensive, simple to learn and great for your health. Boxers, tennis players and all sorts of other athletes incorporate rope jumping into their training routines. All you need is a pair of good shoes, a rope and some funk. You can jump rope everywhere, anywhere, wherever you are.
- Increases stamina and endurance
- Rope jumping is both aerobic as anaerobic
- Strengthens the bones, helps to prevent osteoporosis
- Helps strengthen muscles in the whole body (legs, abs, arms)
- Improves coordination, posture, balance and rhythm
- Aids in fat loss and weight maintenance
- Skipping can avoid the knee damage which may occur during running, since the impact of each jump or step is absorbed by both legs
Jumping rope can get boring and very tiring, especially for the calf muscles. If you got the hang of the basics of skipping, you can use different jump rope moves to keep yourself focused.

I had a weigh-in yesterday and I gained 2 pounds…
I’ve been gaining and losing the same 2-4 pounds for the last month.
I feel myself losing my motivation and giving up.
I don’t want to work out. I think the food I have to eat is boring (especially compared to the food every one else in the house eats)
I’ve been at this since September and I’ve barely lost 20 pounds if that.
I’m not getting much support at home. Its all “its easy” and “why aren’t you losing fast enough?” or “why don’t you just give up since you won’t commit properly?”
I don’t know what to do.
How do I get over this?
Does anyone have any advice for me?

Dear followers :),
it’s almost summer time, the time will go by and before you know it, you’ll be asking yourself “Where did the time go? It’s May already?? Why didn’t I diet/exercise earlier?!”
Well, now you have the chance to start and prepare yourself properly for the upcoming summer time!

i haven’t been eating well at all and i feel horrible about it.
i know this all takes time, but i’m so sick of feeling huge and ungainly.
my sister is visiting and she’s so slim and beautiful and everyone turns to stare when she walks by and i wish i had that.
i’m so vain and i sound like a whiny child.
i should count my blessings.
