Sure still do it off and on. Could do 3X400 at a stretch but age has slowed me down. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
He wears a helmet only on his bike or skateboarding. That's another thing doing flips on his skateboard or the older one rides his bike on one tire down the street.............Sometimes they make my heart sink!!
You do stretch, 400 at once, then cool down, stretch, next 400, cool down stretch, next 400,cool down stretch. I'd be huffing at 100 now :roflmao:
oh, I see. I never counted. Just from home to school. Enmos, did you getup and try? Anyone here have to think about it first?
I was not a very coordinated child. It took me about a year to get a bicycle to move forward before falling over. I was also not very energetic. (We lived in the frelling desert where it was above 90F=33C half the year and no place except stores had air conditioning.) So I never developed an interest in doing anything that required both coordination AND energy, like skipping. But as I grew older I became more energetic and more coordinated. (This correlated suspiciously with the spread of air conditioning and my escape from Arizona.) Sometimes I find myself skipping. I certainly go dancing, something I never did when I was younger, and I'm not much of a dancer, I just jump around in a regular rhythm, which is nothing more than slightly complicated skipping without actually going anywhere. I have a friend who's about 50 and she skips a lot. Sometimes just coming back to her office from a meeting. People stare at her. I asked her what she thinks about that and she said, "Screw 'em." That's pretty good advice. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
hmm.. ok now i'm irritated (with the translation) is skipping the thing with the rope? how the hell do you "gallop" if you can't do it.. thats why i thougt is was something else... whatever... SAMs right it is good exercise... and still yes i can do it...
Literally, "skip" is almost a synonym for "jump," but we don't use it that way. When we talk about "skipping" without a context, it means to run in an inefficient, asymmetrical rhythm. One foot is always in front, or at least never behind, the other. (Which foot is your choice, I suppose it's a function of being right- or left-handed.) So you lift off with one foot, then you lift off with the other foot too soon, putting both feet in the air. You hit the ground with your feet in the same position as when you rose, and you start over. "Skipping rope" or "skip-rope" is a childhood game which we also call "jump-rope." In the simplest version you hold one end of the rope in each hand and twirl the body of it over your head. When it hits the ground you have to already have your feet off the ground so the rope can pass beneath you. Then your feet come back to ground, the rope goes over your head again, and you start over. There are a zillion versions of this, which can employ multiple children and multiple ropes, and each foot moving in a separate pattern. It is highly energetic so people do it for aerobic and weight-loss exercise, and athletes do it to improve their speed and coordination. "Skip" has several other meanings. The one that springs to mind is perhaps the most common, meaning to pass by or overlook. "Hey Frank, that was a bad earthquake, let's check all the neighbors's houses to make sure nobody was hurt." "Okay, Consuela. But let's SKIP the Bin Laden family's house. I don't care if they got hurt."
