This weeks password is 'skipping'

Skipping is no longer confined to the school playground. Boxers use skipping as training before a fight and it is now incorporated into many gym classes. An excellent way to keep fit, skipping can be done anywhere, anytime.
Benefits
Skipping will help improve cardio-respiratory (heart and lungs) fitness, flexibility and co-ordination. As a high-impact exercise skipping is great for building bones and a good exercise to trim hips, thighs and backsides!
Burn Rate
Depending on your weight and exertion level you'll burn between 70-110 extra calories* in a ten minute session. 10min Skipping:
Moderate, 70kcal
Vigorous, 110kcal
*Extra calories are those you burn on top of the calories you use for basic day-to-day living. Inputting your exercise into your exercise diary will calculate the number of calories you will burn, based on your weight.
Getting Started
If you haven't skipped for a long time, start by practising your timing – hold both handles of the rope in one hand and rotate it in a circular movement to your side. When the rope hits the floor, jump. Keep your jumps small to keep impact on your knees and ankles to a minimum – you only need to raise your feet about an inch off the ground. Progress to jumping over the rope once you are confident your timing is correct.

Remember, skipping is a strenuous exercise so start slowly. Try skipping for 20-30 seconds, marching on the spot for 30 seconds, repeat. As your fitness improves you can increase the time you skip for.

Once you have perfected the basic move, you can make your workout more interesting by trying some of the following jumps:
Skip Jump - hop on one foot and kick the other foot to the front (or behind) the body, alternate legs
Jog Jump - alternate your feet in a jogging movement as you jump the rope
Hop Jump – hop on one leg for for several jumps, alternate legs (start with 2 per leg and increase as you improve)
Jack Jump – do "jumping jacks" as you jump – one jump land with your legs apart, next jump land with them together
Aim to have a session three times a week.
Kit Bag
Skipping rope – of the correct length for your height. To check the length, stand on the middle of the rope and pull the handles upwards until the rope is taut. The handles should be in the middle of the chest. above chest level, it will need shortening. Most modern ropes come with instructions.

Cross-trainers or aerobic shoes are good as they provide stability and cushion under the forefoot.
Safety
Skipping may not be suitable for everyone. As a high-impact activity avoid it if you have joint problems.
Warm up and cool down by marching on the spot for 3-5 min, and stretching your calves.

ooh skipping i've heard of that diet Julie

you lose tons of weight skipping breakfast, skipping lunch and skipping tea[laugh]

no seriously i think skipping is great and with the disney channel advertising "double dutch" which is set to be the next big thing since high school musical it'll be a new craze with the kiddies before we know it[msnwink]

i think for me though it's too high impact so i'll stick to walking Olly[sporty]

food wise i'm having a [angel] day, so far!

[SDJ]

We have not been fortunate with the nice sunshine down here in Perranporth, so food has been on my mind.

However, I have stayed focused, been drinking more water than normal, and filling up on loads of bowls of fresh fruit salad with low fat cottage cheese or non fat fromage frais. Hope this will be okay.[msnscared]
