My training log

[Dave1066]

Well because I want to develope my boxers bounce, condition my body, and improve my cordination I have decided to start jumping rope every day. For at least 10 minutes.

So I warmed up with the my normal stretches. Then the skipping commenced. I aim to try and jump 2 minutes striaght, without going wrong. This however happen rarely for me at the moment. And after the first round.. I'll be lucky to have the stamina to do that anyway. Which is why I have decided to do it in the first place. So that my stamina improves.

My coach last night told me to slow down, that my feet were too frantic. To stay on the balls of my feet and stay off the flat of my feet.

Which again I can do what the coach asks but only for a short amount of time. Which is of course another reason, why I decided to start jumping rope every day.

In this work out was 10 minutes and 27 seconds, my average heart rate was 99bpm. I stayed in my target zone of 150-175bpm 51% of the time.

I don't think machines that work out how many calories your supposed to have burnt after exercise are accurate. However I could be wrong. But for the sake of comparing which exercise burns more calories...fat. I'm going to start including the calorie figure. I'm doing it for comparison reasons as well. To see if doing 10 minutes of skipping is better than 34 minutes of running...So todays calorie count was 40 calories burnt.

Later tonight I may do another 10 minutes skipping then shadow boxing.
