Marco here. I know you own a jump rope. If not, get one. You can find a speed rope for less than $10. Here's a quick tip. Jump rope for 30-45 seconds between sets. (That's sets of exercises for you newbies) This is a repeated burst of energy that will burn calories. That extra bite of cheesecake you had last night. (Just talkin' to myself...) Here's help: Always look straight ahead while jumping. Don't tense up. Keep elbows bent and close to body. Breathe normally. You can do this. Turn the rope with your wrist, not your upper arms. Never lock your knees! Keep them straight and loose. Push off and land on the balls of your feet. Your heels should only tap the ground. Try to jump up about an inch or so. And no, you don't have to measure it! So there... Jump on! And remember, the Holidays are coming. No excuse to miss your workouts. Or, you can always ask Santa for abs.
