Well, Glenn told me that jumping rope is one of the best ways to lose weight. So what the heck, I decided to give it a go.

And.. I can tell why.

After fifteen minutes of LEISURE fooling around with the jump rope, I am sweaty, sticky, and mostly feel like I'm about to die of cardiac failure. It's alot more intense than the treadmill (duh!). But it also means I go '1.. 2.. 3... 25..." then I lie down on the cold floor in exhaustion. So it's been "jump 25 times. rest. Jump 25 times. rest." But I had a stop watch so I DID do fifteen minutes actual minutes of jump rope... though it took me a whole of 45 minutes to complete it.
I don't see how people can do 15 minutes nonstop.

Meh. If I stick to this, I'll work my way. Else it's back to the weekly swim/jog.
Other than that, I hit my cardio limit for the week.

Oh crap. It's Sunday. *grumble* Ok, Cardio limit for the next 7 days.
