Skipping rope..

India
August 16, 2018 10:34am CST
I remember skipping rope used to be a game for us in the childhood. The more skipping at a go means winning. Skipping rope is a good exercise as well. I am thinking to buy one for me. It's been years I did it. Have you ever did skipping the rope?

I still remember my school days. The school recorded our sports activity that included skipping. My record showed 72 a minute.

@anamika161088 The school kept our records not just skipping even racing and I think some other activities.

I tried it a few times when I was a kid but failed miserably. Of course, I was a boy. The girls did it way better than I ever could. If I tried it now I would surely break my neck.

It's a fun thing to do. What's restricting you to do it?

I used to. I have actually thought about getting a hula hoop again. That is where I carry most of my extra weight.

It can be a good idea to get rid of those extra fats

Yes, during my childhood days too, I can do so many tricks in it; we jump in two's with two playmates holding and tossing each end of the rope. Now, I can not do it because of my injured knee. But I will try. Thanks.

I remember it with two holding and moving it while one in between skips. It is an awesome memory. What happened to your knee?
