This week I was reminded by a friend of my long lost
skipping rope. I remember when I was
little (a long time ago), skipping with friends every recess, lunch hour and
till it got dark with friends outside.
Those were the days when the rope was a toy, meant for entertaining and
games, and used without the feeling that I had expended a whole lot of energy
after an entire day. Things are a little
different now. Saturday morning my
calves felt a little tender, a good tender though, and I found myself moving a
little more careful.
A year and a half ago I had incorporated skipping into my
daily workout routine. I wasn’t
extremely graceful and my toes seemed to stick out a little too far every now
and then, but I found it a great addition to improving my cardio and my
coordination. Somehow as I started focusing
on other things, the skipping rope got pushed to the side. So as of Friday I have added skipping back
into my routine, thanks to the friend who got me restarted!
