I bought my first skipping rope yesterday. Neon green. I can't get more 80s than that.
The past few months, I saw my blood pressure skyrocket to an all-time high of 170/something. That's really way up there and I would not be surprised if I have a stroke anytime soon. Now that is really scary especially because hypertension runs in the family.
First, I decided to make drastic changes in my diet. No more salty food. I have yet to avoid oily foods but I would try my mighty best to cut down on it as well. I can't give up coffee. Second to oxygen, it keeps me functioning.
The neon green skipping rope should force me into exercise. Last night after yoga, I interspersed it with my abdominal crunches. I heard skipping rope is some serious exercise but I realized it's too gay, which is exactly perfect.
But really, skipping rope is more butch than I initially thought. After reading some stuff on the internet, I learned it is an integral part of a boxer's conditioning program. I now know Manny Pacquiao and I have something in common.
