Let’s talk jump ropes and ropes in general.

When I first started going to Boot Camp I really struggled with the jump rope thing. Every class has a warm up of 4 one minutes jump cycles with 10 seconds of rest. I very quickly found out that I don’t jump rope well (read = uncoordinated AF) and started just running in place or doing jumping jack as a substitute to jump roping.

Today I decided to try the jump rope again and I actually jumped all 4 one minute cycles!!!

Then, we go into our actual rounds of exercises & what do we have to do?? Rope slams AND heavy rope jump ropes!!

And you know what?!?! I SLAYED it today!! 👊🏻💪🏼👊🏻💪🏼. I was able to do the rope slams continuously for all four rotations of 60 seconds without stopping AND did the heavy rope jumping without stopping as well!!

What a GREAT way to start a Saturday!!

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” • SO many feelings about today. A little less than 2 weeks ago @kristinh_815 and I decided to sign up for a competition. I’m so happy we did. Lots of weaknesses were exposed which is ALWAYS a good thing. I want to continuously put myself in the most uncomfortable situations because that’s where learning about yourself and growth happens. Less than a year ago I couldn’t even do a pull up let alone multiple reps in a competition setting. The hang power snatch PR and finishing 6th place overall were nice too 😏 • Thank yous...to @kristinh_815 for agreeing to do this with me, @vigorous_apparel for the swag, the judges, volunteers, and staff at @cfwcpa , @csoupik for the media footage 😉, and last but certainly not least to everyone who came out to support and sent well wishes. I love you allll 💚 • #IJustWannaSquatSnatch #HungrierThanEver #Community #EmbraceTheWeaknesses #IGotBetterToday #BeBetter #SpeakBetter #LiveBetter #LiveYourBestLife2k18 #Here #Trying #Time #Today #EmbraceThis #TheGiftOfYet #BeMoreHuman #PerfectNever #StartTraining #TrainHarder #RoadToFit #Fitness #FitnessMotivation #FitFam #FitGirls #FitWomen #GirlsWhoCrossFit #GirlsWhoLift #LongLiveTheLegacy #EntitledToNothing #SugarKills (at CrossFit West Chester)
