Jumping Rope

Since I loved to jump rope when I was a kid, I thought it might be an easy and fun exercise to take up again. That’s why I bought an inexpensive jump rope a while back and was excited to try it out. To my surprise, though, I immediately realized it wasn’t so easy anymore. I kept jumping too soon…or too late. It took several tries before I could even jump that rope once! With a little practice, I was able to  get better at it, meaning I could jump the rope a few times before messing up, but it was still too difficult. I finally gave up and started running instead.
