emoticon I started this in the game room, but it doesn't seem to be getting any takers, so I am moving it to the fitness side. To add to this message board, write your longest streak of jumping rope without missing since you joined Spark people, or add a favorite jump rope jingle from when you were a kid. You can also add a streak of days jumping.
5 minutes of slow jumping burns 64 calories. I am finding that it is a great thing to do before I go walking to get my heart rate up a bit, or a great way to add some quick burn calories to a day when i am short of my goal.
My longest streak is currently 33 jumps. I do better jumping backwards for some reason.
Summer's not over yet! There's still plenty of time to tone up and bust out that swimsuit for one last hurrah. Get results in just 15 minutes per week with this plan--no excuses!
