My new Buddy Lee JumpRope
I got my new toy for the gym. it’s by far the best jumprope i’ve ever owned. it better be. it cost me 45 bucks including shipping to have it shipped over to Iraq. i jumped yesterday with it and I jumped for 10 minutes for a cool down today. I’ve read in several different spots that 10 minutes of jump rope at 120 turns per minute burns just as many calories as running for 30 minutes. I’m not sure how fast of a run, but whatever. My legs were tired when i was finished nonetheless. if you love jumpin rope i recommend one of these ropes. I use it to warm up and cool down. It gets me a good sweat started before i hit anything else in the gym. i think the MWR staff in the gym was getting tired of me wearing out and breaking all their ropes, so i got my own and it’s better then theirs so there.
Great peice of equipment for any home gym. less than 90 days till i get till leave Iraq. WOOT!
Ranger OUT!

How is this rope different compared to the other ropes you used?
I have a few ropes but don’t ask me what they’re called or who made them.
I skip after my run but consider myself lucky if I make it to ten minutes.
Have you ever watched any of the jumprope videos? My heart starts racing just watching them. I want to be a skipping superhero!
