Does anyone do a bit skipping as part of their CV.
Thinking about getting a set of leather ropes, it's bloody hard tho innit.

I used to skip a lot. Don't think its that difficult as CV. I used to feel fine after an hour (this was when I wasn't particularly fit).
Don't jump too high off the ground, you should only just jump high enough to let the rope pass under your feet. The first few times you'll feel it in your calves so make sure you give them a good stretch.
Yeah, it's a bit harder when you weigh ~120kg... After a couple of minutes my arse is hanging out big time.

Ok, they arrived this morning, it does seem pretty difficult tho, If it hits the calves I may add some ankle weights and give them a workout whilst skipping lol

I skip alot, upto half an hour a day when I can be ****ed, its diamond cv.
I would adivse having 2 ropes, a weighted leather one and a speed one for variety mate.
Once you get going and get into the habbit of it, you can skip a 2 minute round then break for a minute and then back on it for a minute which I do, or just go continually for aslong as possible, keeping going when you mess up.
Skipping really does me in .
I find it very hard :045:
