Questions and reflections from a beginner (Warning, LONG post).

I definitely recommend skipping. Builds your calf muscles so they don't get fatigued as easily when you're on your toes, as it's not good to be flat-footed in the ring. I used to die after one round of skipping when I first started, but one day after a couple of months the burn didn't happen anymore and I was able to skip until I gassed out.

Thank you very much for the advise remy! =) Good thing I live on the first floor, so no neighbours will complain about the skipping.

There was a saying that the difference between the really good athletes and the not so good ones is that the good ones can maintain their technique no matter what...
