jump rope?

[mingo]

How long should a jump rope be? I think I remember something about up to your shoulders if you step on it (with one foot? two feet?) ... ends of handles to your shoulders or end of rope (just before the handle)?

just got a new one and I know it's too long ... but I don't want to cut it too short ....

thanks!

step on the middle of the rope, the handles should fall between the bottom of chest to armpit

Grrr and I was blasting myself for being terribly uncoordinated the other day for constantly catching my feet (my rope goes halfway between navel and chest). O well today was fine anyways, you gotta just jump higher which gets the blood flowing that much more :D..
