Just got my Jan/Feb 2023 of AARP and the main story is about Heart Disease. In the article it talks about: "A great sport for your heart?". Those listed are: tennis and badminton cutting fatal CVD by 59%, followed by swimming and aerobics, 41% and 36% respectively, Distance running less effective. The article doesn't mention frequency of exercise or duration and whether or not it was coupled with other forms of exercises. I wonder what effects jump roping has on lowering risk. Maybe Dan or Brandon can chime in if they're aware of any studies.

Just finished Swole Samurai W2D3. It's been a week since I did W2D2 and boy did I feel it. Too much Christmas cheer! Swole Samurai W2D3 involved using the 1/2 lb. and 1lb. jump ropes (I treated myself to the 2023 Get Strong set). Let me say this, using the 1lb. rope along with the 1/2lb. was challenging. Can't imagine what the 2lb. will feel like. One step (jump) at a time. As they say: "slow and steady wins the race". Keep it up everyone for 2023.
