I hate to hear that jump ropes are in my workout! We just don't get along very well. I mean really the jump rope should do exactly what I tell it too! Oh but how it does... I just can't jump rope! Lol.. Yep, I laughed. No need in getting mad about it.
Since joining Circle City Crossfit my jump roping skills are slowly improving. And I'm mean slowly! I still remember working out with Rhoda and she would just blow through the jump ropes. Well the same dang thing happened at CCC, except I had like 5 or 6 ladies jumping rope like crazy around me. Im telling you mine are horrible.~ July 2012
Well, the paragraph above is a blog topic I started and never finished in July. Now I am glad I waited to finish this particular post. Glad for one awesome reason..... I can jump rope! Finally after practicing and working so hard to just do singles. Singles have become much easier for me. Thank goodness.
This morning our WOD consisted of jumping rope. Before we started our WOD we practiced double unders. If you have watched me, you know my jump ropes are NOT pretty! So, this morning as we practiced our double unders, Stephanie standing by watching I not only jumped rope much much better but I got my 1st double under!!!! Oh my goodness how awesome that felt when Stephanie told me I did one! Granted, that's the only darn one I could get. But at least it's a start!
I have learned that not giving up and practicing will get you to " that place" or " that point" in your life, your work out, and your heart and mind. Just gotta stay focused on YOUR goals and WORK to achieve them!
