Jump Ropin' For Freedom

If a store is going to be closed for an extended period of time for remodeling, put it on your god damn website. I was so excited to pick up 2 jump ropes at Champs today on my lunch break. I had picked out the exact ones I wanted online. I had a gift certificate. I was ready to buy. But no, closed for f'ing remodeling. F' that. I bought one at the Nordic Track store instead, for $21 less than the one I was going to buy. It's a regular speed rope, they didn't have the 6lb rope for strength training and men with huge testicles. I cried a little.

Of course this whole project is a bit on the ambitious side. I've jump roped maybe a few times in my life. I have never done it as a part of my training regiment. And can't imagine sustaining it long enough to count as a decent steady state cardio workout. Jesus, I can't bounce 225lbs in the air for 40 minutes. I'll die. I'll die trying is what I meant to say. I'm excited. Those guys you see jump roping are always in wicked shape. I wonder if they consider 'double dutch' a training technique. I'll keep the blog updated on my progress, maybe even pictures...sexy pictures.
