[Sportsandrec] Jumping rope and pull-ups?

[Dave Wright]

Good morning,

As I mentioned a little bit in my last message, music works great as a 
motivator as well as a way to keep rhythm. When it comes to jumping rope, 
it's all about rhythm. In terms of knowing when to jump, the best way to 
start practicing is to go through the motions really slowly at first. Please 
feel free to give me a call sometime at the number below and I'll do my best 
to explain some techniques.
