Anybody else jump rope?

I'm just starting to get the hang of it again. I used to jump rope a
lot as a child, but boy let me tell you that picking it back up is a
little difficult.

It's still fun though and it's great exercise.

Yes. Most folks find even just five minutes to be challenging!

It's a high-impact exercise (both feet off the ground at once, no
less), so be sure to always do it on a forgiving surface like a wood
floor, never, ever on concrete or carpet-over-concrete. Your ankles,
knees, and back will thank you.

There's at least one video out there for a jump-rope workout with a
variety of moves and rhythms to try to keep things interesting and
challenging.

I used it as a bad weather alternative to running when I lived. Great
exercise, and I found it lends itself nicely to a Tabata-like protocol
of short, intense efforts spaced with brief rests.
