On Saturday while I was sick, I finally received my new speed rope in the mail--what a HUGE difference! This rope was recommended to me by my friend Dottie who is also in the project so I owe her a major thank you!
This rope has a loop and calorie counter. I purchased it for the loop counter since I was having trouble keeping track of my loops as the numbers have gone higher. I was able to complete 1169 loops in a jump time of 11:35! This was also my most enjoyable jump session since starting the project. I realize now that the beaded rope I have been using required me to work harder and less efficient than necessary.
Since I have been sick the past two days I really needed a good start to today. Regardless of how I felt physically I think my mind was going to make sure this was a good session. I am feeling much better and I will slowly start working back towards my gram intake goals as long as my stomach can tolerate it.
I am heading out to complete my other exercises.
Much happier today!
Great --- is that the NIke speed rope? That's what I've been using daily since January 15th --- it's still going strong almost 4 months later.
