I Hate Running

Author Becca B.

I have NEVER been a fan of running; it's hard and I hate it. Our trainer Rob completely made my night during our training session when he said that there are other ways of getting a cardio workout that don't have to do with running. Rob showed me the perfect alternative to hitting the pavement (or tread): jump rope!

Top 3 reasons jumping rope is awesome:

1. Efficient: 10 minutes of sold jumping rope is equivalent to 30 minutes of running
2. Cost: a jump rope is a heck-of-a-lot cheaper than treadmill
3. No equipment necessary: treadmills take up a lot of room and can be very noisy. You can jump rope practically anywhere and it's almost completely silent.

Bonus: I happen to be unusually good at jumping rope- odd skill to have, I know
