Jump n Pump

When's the last time you picked up a jump rope?
You were probably a child the last time you enjoyed a jump rope.  I was just like you until just over two years ago at the gym when i was put in my place.  As a fitness professional i see some cool things at the gym on a daily basis.  I also see some pretty awful things going on as well.

Wandering around the gym I saw some women jumping rope.  Intrigued I walked up and watched for a moment.  A few minutes past and she didn't stop, she actually started doing some moves I'd never seen before.  When I opened the door to talk to her I noticed it was none other than Ruthie, our juice bar manager, doing her thing.  You would NEVER think a middle-aged women who didn't look like she was in great shape would be doing; crosses, doubles-unders, backwards double crosses, and so on!!!

That's how my jump rope fitness started....
