BOING!

So I was scrabbling around for stuff to do this afternoon that didn't involve much effort through my shoulders as one is a bit sore post-jab. Spotted the skipping rope hanging in the corner.

So I managed 7 minutes of doing the longest continuous sets I could manage. I know I got an 80+, a couple in the 70s and one of 68, plus a few bits and bobs of 20+ here and there.

Quite pleased with that as I hadn't picked the rope up since probably about when this thread was last frequented.

I've just got a skipping rope. Came free with a weighted hula hoop (mini Nico's)

Absolutely no idea what to do with it.....

Well done Nellers - great effort after such a long break.

I’d been thinking about getting my rope out again now the weather is getting better (skipping in the house not possible), so the timing of your post is perfect :-)
