skipping!!

i heard a little rumour that skipping was good for you
and so... being the lazy person that i am
have fully embraced skipping instead of trying to run 2-3kms a day (AS IF!!)

the stats say that skipping for 10 minutes straight burns about 100 calories
people should aim for about 1000 skips a day before any of the exercise has any effect.
500 skips in the morning and 500 at night or whenever you get it done.
And to give skipping more intensity - you can add weights to your hands or feet!

which is good enough reason for me to go straight onto ebay and buy me self a skipping rope with a counter (i am not counting to 1000!)

i have now been skipping for just over a week and so far so good.
i love skipping in front of the TV and in front of the dogs - but the dogs like to get in the way
i love doing exercise in the comfort of my own home without looking crappy in the general public.
2 birds 1 stone = satisfied.

so far my thighs and legs are feeling slightly sore - i think im burning fat down there!! anyways i will keep you all posted. its going to be easy for me to keep this up during school holidays, but when school comes back on, it will be a challenge!
