I do biking, walking, and occasional winter snowshoeing for exercise, but I keep wanting to find something I'd enjoy that might keep my bones strong. No gym or weightlifting for me, and jogging hurts my ankles too much.
I figured that by jumping rope it would be kind of like jogging but I could jump on both feet at once and thus distribute the impact to my ankles much better. I could also alternate two-feet and one-foot jumping if it went well.
Maybe I'll hate it, but heck I'm willing to give it a try since it's easy to test and jump ropes are cheap. If I can find a decent ceiling height inside, I can do it in the house this winter, another advantage.
We'll see when they arrive. I got a beaded one and another women's one to try out.
