Anyone jump rope?

[Puddles]

Good laughs here! I'd be happy to double dutch with ya NG...we'll just make sure we do it outside...where there aren't any breakables, I'm really good at untangling things and I don't bruise easilly!

Makedah...thank you for posting that!

I grew up in NYC and half of my school lunch time was probably spent jumping rope. Some of the girls were really very good at it. I never was great at it, but I still had fun!

w8...CHEATING on time intervals? That would be a long time from now for me...right now I'm just trying to jump without tripping too much and make it to 3 minutes, but I'll probably enlist my daughter's help when I get to that point. Good idea.

I've been trying to remember the songs we used to sing...mostly we did stuff like "Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black...," "Miss Lucy had a baby, she named him Tiny Tim, she put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim...." and other nonesense.

Yes...double dutch is with 2 people....LMAO...might be before your time.

Before my time .. Mmm, I'ld rather think I'm in the wrong country to call thing 'double dutch' ... the Netherlands

lets see ... how about "Cinderalla, dressed in yellow...." and "teddybear, teddybear - turn around; TB, TB, touch the ground, .... "

I'll have to get my little girl help me remember all of the words - or just fake it & hum.

Ahhh a trip (or tangle) down memory lane.

But I am still not trying it again. I know my weak points and willing concede defeat on this.

MrsPuddles -- go for it...as long as you have medical insurance.

Maybe this video will be of help? I don't know anything about it. But thought I'd post the info nevertheless.

Thanks, Slinky, that's what I'm lookin for. I know I'm far from doing fancy stuff, but I can play it while I'm learning not to step on the rope.
