Just a quick post to say 850 jumps with NO TRIPS! I still took a few breaks but my longest streak without a break was 250 jumps which was also a first for me.
I attribute this to my new rope that arrived yesterday - it is this Nike rope and I thought it would be too long at 9 feet but I think the fact that it's got some kind of steel cable in it gives it a good weight and I can get into a good rhythym to get it around my body. Anyway just wanted to say for anyone still struggling with their rope (as I have been) that I believe this has totally made the difference for me! It comes in 10 feet too which is recommended for people over 5'11" (180 cm).
(On another note, I may have see a newly formed shoulder muscle this morning!!)
That is insane Erin. Please teach me the ways....
ReplyDeleteWow, super impressive. I can only wait patiently and practice until I can reach your level of mastery. And congrats on the shoulders!
ReplyDeletePimpin' jump rope Erin!
ReplyDelete850!? Impressive. My record is currently 750.
ReplyDeleteNike makes good ropes. Better to get one good one than 3 crappy ones that frustrate and ultimately fail on you.
ReplyDeleteI'm very very impressed. Since I adopted the JFD mantra, I've been tripping less, but for me that means a clean 50 jumps, not 250. Congrats - keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! 850 jumps no trip-ups! Great job!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the clean jumps as well as the potential muscle sighting!! Examining photos side by side can be an intoxicating past-time...
