Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

More Jump rope

Singles are excellent, serious cardio. Often, people who get their singles under good control aspire to do double-unders. It's natural ambition.


Where there is some air conditioning in summer, I like jumping for cardio. I enjoy working on my variations, but I still can't get consistent doubleunders.

I couldn't jump rope at 14-16. At 62...it would be a stretch. That said, thanks for all your inspirational posts on becoming a better, healthier us, your loyal readers.

I used to do this as a teenager in the basement with a piece of clothes line. Too much fanciness and overthinking.

BTW, Red Auerbach, the famous Celtics coach, was a big fan of girls competitive jump rope. There’re are videos of him with the girls.

No one should take steroids as this woman obviously has. Short-term positive. Long-term negative.
