saves a lot of time, too. 5 minutes jumping equals like 30 minutes or more of running. Downside is, it's kind of hard to do inside
I have not looked into it yet but I saw this the other day and thought it looked interesting. It was posted to hacker-news. Maybe you would also find it interesting.
Show HN: I built an app that personalizes home workouts https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40580249
Ah woah, thats pretty cool! I'll let you know what I think of it after using it for a while.
Cool, I'm going to check it out this weekend. I need to get moving more. I am way more out of shape than I should be.
Keep up the efforts though. Self improvement can be hard but is always worth it.
Good for you. Keep at it.
I’m working on getting up to a two mile swim. Currently sitting at a 1/2 mile with breaks every 200m or so….
Oh wow, a two mile swim sounds like a lot of back and forth in a pool or one way in a lake or river. You must keep in pretty good shape, water is a difficult medium.
I’d like to do an iron man…long term goals.
Good for you !!
I earned my mile swim badge in Boy Scouts many years ago, but haven't come close to swimming that distance in decades.
That's excellent. I don't know about your shoulders, but mine have taken a beating from decades of heavy lifting. My shoulders can't handle jumping rope anymore. I can put myself out of commission pushing myself to do that exercise. Have fun!
Outstanding, EF! Your plan is sound; build slow and steady to avoid injury.
Yeah true, working out can be dangerous if not done properly. I also don't want to over invest in a workout that will burn me out and discourage me from working. I used to do the Arnold Swarts Blueprint workout, which isnt a workout for ladies, and it was brutal. I did stick with it, bulked up but didnt lose any weight. Turned me off to doing workouts for a while.
Find what works for you, ditch what doesn't and stay consistent with it. Those are the keys to the kingdom.
33 * 3 = 99, not 100.
Keep it up, don't let stop you.
Boone is my inspiration, I might just need to outrun a nigger one day.
My excuse is i'm bad at math, but I still am completing my goal of 100. I have a lot of restarting reps because I trip or get intercepted by life, and I keep count in the feeble mind of mine just enough to count to 100. God blessed me with good looks that came at the cost of some braincells
I was teasing, don't worry. Just keep it up, you'll thank yourself as you get older.
when I get to 200 reps a day sustained for a month with no soreness, I could try to improve my reps, OR I could go do something awesome that I miss doing. I used to go for really long walks in the desert and freeclimb when I was an unsupervised youth. The desert doesnt always have the biggest mountains but it often does have awesome large rock structures challenging to climb.
Good, work out as much as you can.
It will make you happier, and a better mother.
We are all being driven insane in this day and age. You seem to be holding up well.
Keep up with it. I believe in you.
I appreciate your kind words! I'm trying to hold it together, or at least inspire others to hold it together. I get very intrusive thoughts, but I think if i exercise more I wont have the extra energy for brooding
throw some double unders in. every 10th jump.
Do you do it listening to music? When I used to skip I found it easier to keep a rhythm... keeping in time with the rhythm.
Good job keep it up!
