Peter, I think anyone’s “standards” are relative to your individual journey. For example, you don’t have to deadlift 300lbs to be considered strong. If you have goals and you are progressing and enjoying your confidence that comes from training, then you have reached the standards of my sessions. Because that is all I do. I strive to be a better/stronger/more confident version of myself 😀

I am starting to do skipping, having never done it since I was a little boy!!
I also bought some 20 mm foam mats to skip on to protect my knees and I can already feel the good it is doing me. I am doing it using a tabata timing of 10/20 secs and 20 secs is enough of a straight session for me just now.

I really hope to be able to get up to the standard to do your session, but that may be some way off for me.

Cheers, Peter

LOL, this was a very funny moment! He is rather amusing when he’s frustrated with himself LOL 😀

I definitely feel his pain there though, as I look exactly the same when I try to jump rope with high knees.

LOL That’s so funny! Sorry about your rope, but the mental image is priceless 😀

Don’t know where was my common sense at the time, but surely I will remember how (some)plastic reacts with cold from now on. 🙁 But I loved the challenge as long as it lasted. I did the rest just jumping without a rope but it wasn’t as fun as it would have been with a rope.

Nice! It sure is literally a whip ass move 😉 I had some serious marks LOL

I do a similar workout but I use my interval timer
6 rounds of 3 minutes of straight skipping, a total of 16 minutes,
within those three minutes I change from high knees, jump rope jacks, feet together etc.

It is a killer cardio workout. I’ll have to try that criss cross it looks so bad ass.

Maybe it just depends on the day! ha ha and the sunshine! I know, it’s sad to wear wristwraps for whip burns from jumprope and not need them for kettlebells! ha ha

Hi Gwen, The double unders are really difficult, I’ve only managed a few. It was a bit like the criss cross, which ended in many whip marks lol
