It just felt wierd, like I was jumping too high (with 2 feet). I wasnt coordinated enough to do one foot at a time. but I think I will try at home so i dont look stupid at the gym!

Anyways, I did a lot of boxing so I'm used to jump rope. Its a very good exercice if you do it right, meaning the two feet jumps you do as a kid is not the way to go. Use your wrists and do little jumps that look almost like you're jogging. Its tough at first but after 2-3 weeks you should start seeing some good results, in other words, you'll be able to do more then 30 secs every time.

Keep at it, and you'll be able to do it one foot at a time. It takes time.Grave77digger said:It just felt wierd, like I was jumping too high (with 2 feet). I wasnt coordinated enough to do one foot at a time. but I think I will try at home so i dont look stupid at the gym!

I agree. Jumping rope really gets your heart going and works both your heart and leg muscles. It is a great cardio workoutmazmin said:Try the row machine and some swimming. Awesome cardio and some of the best exercises you can do. Jumping rope really gets the heart rate up. If you're in the right mood (need to vent some anger) try hitting the heavy bag at the gym... harder than it looks.
Oh, and don't forget some of the most fun cardio can be done in bed!

Sock said:I seriously hate using a stationary bike, but I still do it, and more than the stationary bike I hate running.
What are some other routines that are good for cardio, or am I damned to this stationary bike? I have nowhere to inline skate (not until I get another car, at least), so that's ruled out.
If I can get away from the stationary bike, are there any muscles vital for hockey that deadlifts and calf raises wouldn't work that a stationary bike would?
Thanks for the pending answers, dudes.
