Ole' school jump rope

Last week was spring break. I enjoyed most of my time playing outside with the kids. They had me running and jumping all over the place. Also, they gave me an idea to take my workouts back to the ole school days. Back in the days when we use to use our imagination and body to workup a good sweat. We didn't need the elliptical, treadmill or heavy weights to work up a sweat. We played kickball, hide go seek and jump rope to keep us going. Adding new exercises means cranking up the intensity and adding some fun to my workouts So , I decided to bring ole school workout to the gym …my jump rope. I had fun jumping to my music and reminiscing on the ole days. After the first set of 10 jumps, it didn't take long for my body to say, " Pam, what in the world are you doing"?!?! I huff and puff throughout the entire duration. Whew! That was a fun challenge. Gotta love it.
