So recently I decided to lose weight for health reasons.
and a friend told me that Kim Ah Jung (the korean celebrity from the movie 200 lb beauty)
lost weight by doing 1,000 jumpropes a day. so I was like ONE THOUSAND? dang!
so I thought it would take me an hour to do a thousand jumpropes.
I haven't jumped rope in an year and I could do 1,000 in 30 minutes. I am NOT fit. I'm like 20 lbs over what I SHOULD weigh.
So I thought, oh, a thousand isn't bad. I assumed it'd take me at least an hour to do them, but I was wrong.

but my friend also said that jumproping isn't great for the brain since you're constantly moving
and your brain is bobbing along with it...

IS THAT TRUE?

should I STOP jumproping?

I plan to increase it to 2,000 in the morning 2,000 at night.
trust me, it's NOT a lot. if you do it, you'll be like oh...wtf...it's not that hard.

and could someone please tell me the code for uploading pictures onto my threads??? T__T
so I could post some pics of jumproping or something

[tasty]

lol. doubt it

i'm sooo unfit it's embarassing. i can only do 100 LOL.

[azumi_kyomiko]

EHHH!?!?!?!?! you can jump rope 1000? >.> I an so unfit.
About the brain thing, You have liquid in your head to keep your brain in place. so you don't need to worry about damaging your brain.
ok to damage your brain you have to hit your head really hard against concrete (like jump off a building head first). >>
XD

[gingerpye]

wow 1,000?? o.o
well, you shouldn't just do jump roping.
got to have a good diet too
good luck!

i always wanted a jump rope :|

[xm1chelle]

jumproping is good for the heart...you should continue doing so...1000 is great but i don't think you should do 4000 (that's too much)...instead, try doing running, power walking, and lifting weights

[chu-phie]

i don't think its as bad as doing situps. everytime i do situps, my head gets really dizzy and i feel like throwing up.

[lilatlbabishorti]

=-= hmm 1000 not bad..i suck! haha well i shall try to do 1000mornin n 100night tonight n tomorrow n i'll get back to you on my experiment XD

[catchthesky.]

Well thats what I heard too. (That jump roping helps you lose weight.) My friend said she didn't 30 minutes every night and you lost some major weight but as soon as she stopped doing it, she gained it all back. I started doing it last month but I got tired of it because I didn't see any improvement. Instead, I just jog and run. I hate it when I trip over myself doing jump rope. Lol. And I asked some people at my church abtou jump roping and some of them said that it's goign to damage your knees if you do too much of it. And when you grow older, you won't be able to walk around much. And someone else said jump roping makes your thighs big, because wrestlers do a lot of jump roping, because they use their legs a lot. (?) Not usre. But in a seventeen magazine, they said that jump ropig would burn A LOT of calories. Like I said, I'm not sure. I'm too scared to try it. I think just healthy old-fashion jogging and running would work.

Anyway, good luck! <3 (:

[charzzy]

omg 1000? i can barely do 100. i usually do up to 50 and my head will start aching like crazy
=x

and about whether its good or bad. i dont know.. sorry!
redundant post here
lol

[msLyn]

1000 seems a bit too much, doesn't it?


Just 1-300 seems fine. 1000?? o_O

[sushiwhore]

O_O 1000 isn't alot o_o its liek 6 minutes for me

o_o try doign the incrases but keep 2000 at night and then increase in the morning because the air in the morning helps you jump faster (well for me)


it takes e around 30 minutes to d o 5000 maybe o_o
and its a great work out i might consider jumping again o_o maybe over the summer summer break i have >.>

also if your gonan jump dont jump with your whole foot but on tippy toes it goes faster o_o

[lovablekrnstar63]

wow.. a thousand?
i tried once. i got tired at around 50

jumproping is BAD for your joints (ankle, knee)
b/c you're landing your entire body mass onto those two areas
and put more pressure on them then they're used to
and eventually, you will end up getting arthritis at an earlier age
..at least, that's what my teacher (who's majoring in all that joints stuff) told me

[ladee_bug]

wow 1,000?? o.o
well, you shouldn't just do jump roping.
got to have a good diet too
good luck!

i always wanted a jump rope :|

Same here =(
I've always wanted to jumprope.
I have one, but being in an apartment it's kinda hard.
And I'm not going to go outside and jumprope LOL
I should wait for gym class =(

1000 sounds a lot to me
but if you can do it it's fine.
I suggest not doing TOO much.
Nor doing ONLY that.

and sorry, but I have no idea about the brain part.

[EenXsooN]

if u do that much i think u should join like volleyball cuz ur gonna jump so high after a while

i dont think itll mess up ur brain
it might just feel like it cuz ur tired? iono

[hanie]

wait...jumproping makes you brain BOB?!

HAHA, when i read that i laughed. but i'd say continue.
jumproping workouts your whole body, continue if you wanna lose weight(:

[novemberbaby]

1,000? Haha, I can't even do like 100. But I guess if you're losing weight and you're not feeling dizzy from doing it, just continue.
And you just reminded me that I need to start jump roping again. xD

[yoo유jin진]

lol, like a year ago I wanted to lose some baby fat so I tried this.
only 500 at a time though...I gave up after 4 days of doing it every morning and night.
I don't know if it helped, but I heard jumproping is just good exercise anyways, so it probably wouldn't hurt to do it.

[`LANE]

was kim ah joong originally fat before ? she wore a fat body suit in/for the movie o.o

maybe lower it down to like 500 jumping ropes and throw in a good diet and some other exercises/

lol...JEEEZ...wut olympic team are you from?!!? nehow yea...1000 is quite a lot..at least for me...its an admirable goal.

If you're not used to it slowly break into it or you'll get pain in the ankles and knees.

I've injured my knees and ankles from constant running lately now I have to do stationary biking for a while . Same thing can happen with jump rope so yeah.
Like someone said above it's alot of weight and pressure coming down on those joints.
