"The idiots are self regarding consumer slaves oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waistbands below their balls. They babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool e-mail of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity, hail the rise of the idiots!"
Charlie Brooker & Chris Morris.
"Don't get hung up on the stopwatch or times, or even weight lifted, think about technique, technique, technique and listening to your body. You will not perform better every session and that is set in stone. Test your self every month keep a written journal not just a forum, a place where you can keep personal notes that you can read to motivate yourself. Don't compare yourself to others when you are working out and likewise do not think that you are already fit as fcuk!!! As someone will always be in front and behind you, ultimate confidence in your abilities yes, but arrogance no, there is a fine line.
But most of all do the things you hate above the things you like or are good at, this will make you a better athlete. Save the things you like for recreational sessions. But ultimately enjoy it, even when you hate it! And finally remember the mind will always give in before the body!"
Here endeth the lesson.

You are a MAN... take that Zone diet and throw it back at Sears and tell him "f*** you, I'm eating food without counting it". Embrace the 200+ pound range, bro, hug it...

I've seen them on Blue Peter if it's the same ones.
And no way am I embarassing myself in front of anyone who's actually any good at skipping. I'll send Chet in my place and then he can teach me.

3hrs of skipping?!! surely there's only so much to learn?
in all seriousness though I'm sure it would be very interesting - not for me though, skipping's rather low on my list of priorities (nailed 10 double unders the other day though
)

)I hate you. My skipping's got worse. I can't do any double unders, and I can't do more than about 50 normal 2-footed jumps without getting the rope caught.

skill based.
Skipping isn't a workout if you keep stopping and missing and when the frustration builds, well that's the end.
Will enquire again, will get back to you soon.
