Shelly Bynum if Tuesday and Thursday are high step days and you get more tired on those days, perhaps that’s the days you make sure to hit 12k.

So Mon-, Wed-, and Friday are the days where you have a little more energy and that’s the days you jump 🙂

Shelly Bynum well safety over step count, no doubt about that 😁

8-12k is that effortless for you? Could you perhaps increase that to 10-12k so on your ‘low’ days you actively add in a few houndred/thousand steps?

Also days you are off the ropes maybe try to get to the 12k mark as a low-impact substitute 🤷🏻‍♂️

Neeks please don’t push through the pain.. I did that and have been dealing with the knees ever since, never seeming to completely recover 😞

My issues came about a year into jumping 5-day a week so naturally I didn’t think much of it, I mean this is what my body is used to, right!

My advice is to take a day of two off to have inflammation go away.

Remember a day or two won’t mess up your journey over the long run. But a serious injury might keep you out of the game for 3-4 months (did for me) 🙏🏻

Yes, I’m walking the dog twice a day (AM and PM) and have a job that requires me to walk “a lot” giving me 5-8k steps per day.

I have found a few routes in my neighbourhood that are approximately 3k, 4.5k, 6k, and 9k steps ranging from 25- to 75-minutes so I can generally “hit” my daily target with one of those walks in the PM 🙂

Shelly Bynum you and me both 🙈 but hey remember one slow day is way better than a week off from recovery ❤️‍🩹

Listen to your body and you will come out stronger 💪🏻

Tough though 🙈 but hey called it ‘No injuries before the end of the challenge’ 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

I would start with boxer skip, it will help give some relief to your legs during your jumping intervals 🥊

Hey my brother, wishing for a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 and no doubt you will be back soon and with a vengeance 💪🏻

Stay tuned for “The Return of the De Luca” the Jedi master of jump rope 🙏🏻
