I'm 64 - These videos are to convice people that they don't have to fall apart in old age - it's fun and actually easy if you just enjoy the music and go with it.. This video is over two years old. I think my jumping has improved since then and I'm in better shape; to see the most recent videos, go to the link below:
My most recent JumpRock workout is at : http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=DC3736EB0A3CFA79&playnext=1&p...
I'm 62 - I was lucky enough to have stumbled onto a couple of things that led to my being in much better shape at this age than I ever dreamed. I'm hoping to motivate others through my physical condition to follow my advice on how to develop an exericse habit - it's so easy most people won't take it seriously - but the real motivators that keep you going in the long run are fun and music. Well, of course there's also the euphoria.
Great song and vid......keep on skipping, you look like you're in great shape.

@menorca2006 Thanks!! I think most people could do the same, nothing special about me. I'm in better shape now and jump better now than a year ago, so if there's anyone you want to encourage, point them to the link in this song's description, which is a playlist of the most recent videos. If people only knew how much fun this is, it would be commonplace for 63 year-olds. And easy to learn if you persist and don't push too hard.

@lunagirrl21 Thanks!!! Get 'em to jump rope to music. I started totally from scratch at 55 so there's hope for everyone. Most importantly, tell them I had no idea it was even possible for a non-athlete to jump like this. Just practice a little each day and gradually it will happen - because it's fun - otherwise I wouldn't spend so much time doing it.. Old people miss out on so much because they don't think of exercise as a way to feel good - I was really lucky.

@FantasticallyFreaky Thanks, that's really nice to hear. This video will be a year old in two days. I think I jump a lot better now.
In case you don't know, my message is that I believe almost anyone can do the same and get the same benefits. I started when I was 55, no idea it would be fun and often euphoric. Now I'm 63 trying to spread the word. Not selling anything, just working on my Karma.. If you're still reading, or even if you're not, thanks again from the heart -- Peace Out.
