remember not to come down on your heels when you jump rope. Back and forth off one leg at a time (landing on the other and also the toe of the jumping foot) is easiest.

yep, gonna work on the back and forth thing.
I'm on puzzle mats too, so theres some cushioning as well...very much needed for my 37 year old knees and hips. :D
i'm sore as a muther today...
Been working on learning to jump rope correctly.
Have jumped rope every day for at least 6 minutes or so.
Can't get the alternating foot thing down though.
I will say that there is great incentive in going barefoot and learning to jump rope.
Nothing lack smacking a heavy PVC rope into the tips of your toes to get you motivated. :D
Any tips?
9 x 45 sec jump roping w/ 15 second rests.
4 x 15 pushups w/ 15 second rests
3 x 6 pullups
(1-2-2-1 w/ 30 second rests. No, there not full ROM. haven't really done pullups in 3 weeks, so I've lost ground here)
1 minute each, 30 second rests:
oblique crunches, right side
oblique crunches, left side
crunches
leg lifts
full situps
Forms for about an hour.
Class for two hours.

still having a hard time getting an alternating foot rythm going on
right now I can get a weight shift from foot to foot but the off side foot isn't coming off the ground. I can't get the balance part of it down and I feel like I'm going to fall over. :o

feeling a little burned out so it's an easy call to not do much on the weekends
did 3 weeks in a row of Mon-Fri day job followed by teaching Mon-Thur and kumite on friday nights and teaching Saturday mornings...so when I knew that most of the guys at kumite wouldn't be there for one reason or another it was easy not to go....probably not going to go this week either as I'm gonna try and take an honest to goodness 4-day weekend and just play.
Monday
not much besides the usual kids class warmup & advanced adult warmup.
I did get a 2 minute horse in with thighs parallel to the ground
Tuesday
Pushups before class:
15
2minrest
20
2minrest
20
3minrest
16 (failure)
3minrest
19 (failure)
3minrest
11 (failure)
101 total.
I think next time I'm going to go to failure on each set with a 3 min rest till I get at least 100.
Don't ask me what the hell I'm doing...just trying to get something done in the short times I have before class. Today I'm going to do a ...'superset' ??? or pullups...
Wednesday
3 minutes Jumping Jacks
8 x 2 pullups w/ 1 min rests
then I did 4-6 more sets of 2 over the next two hours between teaching class.
Thursday
Sparring night for my beginning students.
We all did a light 15 min warmup: JJ's, pushups, situps, squats and some plyos.
I went 8 x 1 min rounds with each of them.
Then they all round-robined till everyone went with everyone so they all got 8 x 1 but with breaks.
Then I went with all of them again for 1 minute rounds.
Nothing special for me as I was teaching and it was light contact stuff.
Friday (Today)
I'm trying to vacation this weekend so I've got today off from work as well as monday. Gonna skip kumite to play tonight so did a workout this morning.
1 x 3 min jump roping
30 sec rest
1 x 1 min JR
30 sec rest
1 x 1 min JR
Pushups: Gonna try this formula for a while. Sets to failure w/ 3 min rests untill I hit 100+
So, with 3 min rests between each set I did
23
17
16
15
15
12
for 98. {shrug} not quite 100 but it kicked my ass.
then, I did
1 min crunches, 51 total
30 sec rest
1 min leg lifts, 42 total
30 sec rest
1 min full sit ups, 21 total -- had a choking thing happen, sometimes I gag while doing abs ???? so, I didn't get my usual 30-35 in a minute.
Then I did about 20 minutes of teaching a student of mine a groundwork flow drill I learned from my JJ teacher....kept the sweat going.
Then I sparred 4 x 4 minute rounds with this student. This is the student who wants to fight Lei Tai so we are going full speed but right now I can only hit her about 1/4 to 1/3 in the head or body or I'll knock her down/out. She's 150 and I'm 240. It was good though and I was drenched in sweat by the end.
Saturday - nada
Sunday - Went on a hike in the Smokies. 3.1 miles - 55 minutes - as near as I can tell there was abotu 500' elevation gain over the entire hike. We were gonna do a 11.6 miler w/ about 1500' but it was raining like a mother and I didn't relish 4+ hours of sogginess.
