Now that I've figured out how to embed videos, NO ONE can stop me!!
From my house to yours, here's a little sumthin' to inspire your next workout:
This little ditty has become one of my favorites on my workout playlist - though, I have to admit, I totally poached it from Tara's list. It's an old standard made down and dirty. Here's a live version:
There are tons of jump rope trick videos on youtube - my favorites are the super amateur ones, no soundtracks, no fancy camera work. Check out this guy just doing his thing on the street. Getting winded, tripping, saying hi to the random lady strolling by...it's pure gold.
And I love this chick jumping barefoot in the hotel parking lot - she's got some badass tricks up her sleeve:
So I gotta say - after 83 days of jumping rope, I finally figured out how to do something other than jump with both feet over...and over...and over. Stay tuned - if one of my family members can capture my new trick on video, you guys will be the first to see it!
danger, danger, sarah's becoming techie. :P man those jump rope folks make me feel less than. i'm happy when I don't whack my head once during a session. love the video of the kids, particularly stella's comment about "getting to do the exercises". go young taskmaster!
ReplyDeleteOoh I've got to try that inbetween the legs thing in the last video.
ReplyDeletethat's my girl - total taskmaster. she keeps us all in line!
ReplyDeleteOh man, your kid videos are working on melting my cold, black ovaries. Stop having such cute kids!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm totally with Grace about teh jumprope skills. I've got permanent bruises from where I'm constantly smacking myself in the calves with the rope.
