The pace is excellent, the music is awesome. The DVD shows you everything you need to know about rope jumping, from sizing the rope to speed-jumping and double-unders. It's also great for people who are just getting into rope jumping. Congratulations to the team for such great work, and hugs to Alfred and Tonka! Highly recommended!

Of course, most of the actual fat burning will come from what you eat. So try to eat healthy so you can really see those abs. Jogging will help as well. Try to jump rope for at least half an hour. You don't have to do it straight through though. Yeah, jump rope is extremely good cairdo for burning fat. Of course, most of the actual fat burning will come from what you eat.

Your diet will either cover them or show them. Nutritionaly you need to get in contact with some who specializes in that. Also make sure you are getting enough cardio in and to know your heart rate (take 220- your age) use 80% of that rate to hit your fat burners.If you want strength you want to use heavy weight with low reps and if you want to get toned you need light weight with high reps. You also need to remeber your muscles cant grow unless you rest. get plent of sleep and aim for a gallon a day of water.here is a sample schedule for getting strongerMondayFlat Bench 3 sets of 5 repsIncrease Bench 3 sets of 5Decline Bench 3 sets of 5Flat Dumbell Flys 3 sets of 5*Ab work out on your own*5 25-Yard sprints 30 sec rest in between sprints5 min Jog 120 sec rest5 25-Yard Sprint 30-restTuesdayDumbell Power cleans 3 sets of 5Dumbell skull crushers 3 sets of 5Dumbell Curls 3 sets of 8*Abs*Run 30 mins5 25-yard sprints 30 sec restWed.

Example: if you weigh 190 pounds, 190 / 2.2 = 86.36Multiply this number by 0.8 – this is the number of grams of protein you need each day.Example: 86.3 * 0.8g = 69.04; You would need about 69 grams of protein per day.Protien shakes are good as well as eating meat. STAY OFF OF SUPPLIMENTS EVEN CREATINE!!!!Also realize that everyones body is diffrent and will react differently, you just need to find out what works best for you.Hope this helps!

I am very uncoordinated in the mornings so the only type of workout I'm good for is taking my dog on a nice long walk. I save my actual workouts for lunch break at work which is when I do 20 minutes or so of cardio and after work in the evenings when I do resistance training and longer cardio. All good tips.

At about the same time I signed up for a high intensity fitness course at my gym. I wore the Vibrams (the Komodo Sport LS) and they made me feel very agile. My feet felt great and my toes were able to spread out. They were never happier. About a month into the course I developed some Achilles tendonitis. Medical sources indicate the it could be caused by - a different kind of footwear -check, an increase in activity levels - check, or an increase in hill work - check. (we simulated hills on the treadmill). So the cause of my problem could have been the shoes, something else, or a combination of all three. The intensity class is over now and I continue to workout, sometimes in the shoe, sometimes not. My feet feel really good when I wear them to run. The other day, I ran on an unpaved trail, and it had rained recently so parts of the trail were pretty muddy. As I squished through the mud with my vibrams, I was almost giddy. It felt so good to have the mud oozing between my toes. It was such a new feeling. But I digress. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is really no right or wrong when it comes to these shoes. It's just a matter of what works or not. A lot of the discussion in favor of them seems to imply that they are somehow better, more pure, than regular shoes. I wish the discussion would get past that. It isn't a matter of better or worse, it's just about what works and what doesn't. We're all built differently, so it makes sense that there is no single right shoe for everyone. Wear whatever feels good and keeps your body healthy. Tim, this comment is not directed at you, 'cause I know you'll take care of yourself. More my reaction to a lot of the discussion that's out there. I bought a pair of Vibram 5 fingers about 2 months ago, and I have to say I love ‘em!
