I laughed out loud reading the description for this book.As someone who would rather gargle broken glass and salt water than spend an hour on the treadmill or in an aerobic class lead by some overly bouncy and cheerful hardbody, I definitely fall into the category it was talking about, But I thought, I jumped rope for hours as a kid and loved it so how hard or miserable can it be?First off the jump rope we did as kids and what's outlined in this book are two different animals. This will make you WORK! The first section explains why jumping rope can be such an effective fitness tool, which was pretty educational. Then it takes you through a ton of different skipping techniques complete with pictures to help you grasp the idea. I was very surprised at how effective jumping rope can be, plus it's still fun! This would be an effective program for anyone regardless of their fitness level.
