Day 11 - Too much skipping hurts !

Headed to the gym yesterday morning to do my workout. Started experimenting some advanced jump rope techniques including skipping on one leg for 10 jumps. By doing so I hurt my ankle that can't handle my weight! Tomorrow skipping will be difficult and I would have to replace it with something as good cardio wise but not as aggressive on the ankle. 


If you think you are bored using your rope, here are some routines one can use. http://www.projectswole.com/conditioning/9-routines-for-jumping-rope-with-power-and-endurance/


I am amazed to see so many jump rope techniques. Here is a sample.

• Basic double foot jump
• Alternating foot jump or boxer shuffle
• Single foot jump
• Heels
• Kicks
• Knees
• Jumping jacks
• Cross jacks
• Scissors
• Half twist
• Full twist
• Pendulum
• Rocking
• Slalom
• Arm crosses
• Traveling forward, backward, and sideways
• Traveling in a circle
• Squats
• Hamstring curls
• Doubles and triples
• Speed rope intervals

Food wise, I noticed that a lot of people feel they can't eat all what they have been allocated. On the contrary, I feel hungry most of the time even with so much food. Is that normal? The worst time is between 4 and 7 PM. I have to have dinner earlier evening otherwise my stomach is screaming. Went for a business dinner to a sea food restaurant and I am quite happy with my performance of sticking to the diet. In normal times, I would have eaten much more than this.


Enjoy your Sunday PCPers.
