FabSwingers.com forum: July challenge

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

OK who's with me? New month and all that

I've signed up for #3000 skips in July for the Irish heart foundation. I will need daily encouragement as I will probably die, or wrap myself with the skipping rope. I have a good sports bra do no fear of giving myself a black eye !

Why not take on a 30 day challenge for July

Hmm

Might join you, with my new found fitness addiction (and also purchase of high impact over the shoulder boulder holders!)

Sounds good DD . Good on ya.

I'll rattle the old noggin and see if there's something I could do myself. I'm kinda allergic to exercise though. For some reason I break out in serious beads of sweat. The Dr's can't figure out whats wrong

If you can learn the boxer skip you will be doing a thousand a day in no time.

There is a girl on insta called Lauren jumps who shows all the basic skips or the jump rope dude on the u tube.

I have 4 ropes now 2 of which are weighted and heaviest one is a kilo so it's a full body workout.
