Jumping Rope

Boxers jump rope for fitness. There are many competitive jump roping teams who compete; you should go find one and watch. It's pretty amazing.

I am learning that, and it plays an important role in Crossfit as well - double-unders specifically. I am going to talk with the woman who helped me this morning to see if she knows of a team or competition that I can go watch - I bet she does!

There's a woman at my yoga studio (her name's Mary Beth if by chance it's the same person) who used to compete in jump roping as well. She also swam for Butler if I undertand correctly. She is so crazy strong and flexible; I love watching her do certain yoga poses. She's all muscle.

Different woman, but probably equally amazing. I never thought of jumping rope in quite this way before I started the group training, and watching her was pretty amazing.

Look up the Bouncing Bulldogs on YouTube. They are a competitive jump rope team from my hometown.

Wow, they are great! I had no idea people did this until recently. Amazing!
