    Enhance performance and prevent injury with proper pre and post-workout routine.

    Is stretching post-workout necessary? Let's clarify the difference between warming up, stretching, and the benefits of jump rope training.

  9. Missed rope jumps are not the opposite of success, they are part of success

    You cannot control these misses, that's just what they are.

    But knowing when to hit the jumps, is knowing when you're going to win. If you are going to hit it, and you are going to miss it, in the end it does not matter. At least you know you're going to win and you know you're going to get to the next jump.

Is it the method of teaching which is interesting or what you mean by 'taught' in the …

    I don't usually use this analogy, because it can feel like it is an insult to the human body.

What I like about the idea of working from home is that, instead of having to worry about money, I am often asking the question: who am I working for? I have two people that I am working for: myself and my own financial future.

    I have no intention of retiring, or working for less than I can get paid. On the contrary, my goal is to have enough money to retire, be able to work out of my home, and continue to live a life of independence (although I like to joke that I am already a work from home, but this is not the case).
