yeah cuz woman can't master anything

[@lesflynn4455]

Pro boxers jump rope for fitness. She can do 6 minutes of triples. To do that would smash most of those guys. It's very impressive.

Wow, the beaming smile on her face says it all. She _LOVES_ what she does. Amazing. ❣

hi Just Some Guy

[@skie6282]

Im impressed that the human body can do such an intense exercise as long as she can, i mean 6 minutes of triple unders?! Pushing yourself that high off the ground consistently for that long is insane and combine it with focusing hand movements and keeping the rope going.. wow

[@hunterG60k]

Seriously, that is *insane* levels of endurance, that women is a world class athlete

[@OfficialEFEN]

There's something called momentum

[@Apostate1970]

The body's ability to continuously produce epinephrine lasts for about 6-7 minutes, during which people can accomplish incredible things, but after which, at least if the production has been truly continuous, they hit a wall of adrenal and anaerobic exhaustion where both their muscles and neuroendocrine system just starts shutting down to recharge.

[@NezukoKamado]

I mean Tori Boggs is 29. It's never too late.

[@sinistai.z.3622]

I'm 51. I picked up a jump rope 2 years ago to rehab my ankle. Now I'm doing cross overs, heel toe, boxer step, run step and more. I'm no Tori Boggs but I'm getting there. It's definitely a fun workout that kills your whole body. But it does take time and patience. I suggest any one starting start with a beaded rope. And jump for maybe 5min a day for may be 3 days a week till your body gets use to it to avoid injuries. Cause it is killer.

I grew up in the same town as her and even though she’s 6 years older than me I remember hearing about her accomplishments even when I was in high school. My junior year she was on Ellen and the whole town was talking about it. She’s amazing!

[@jansenart0]

As an Army medic, I've drawn athletes' blood before; their veinous blood can scare you into thinking you hit an artery. I've taken their vitals, they breathe only a few times every minute and their hearts beat like every other second. I can't imagine what her nurses think about her vitals.

[@hunterG60k]

Yeah, probably a resting heart rate of 30bpm! lol

[@jeffreyhill1011]

Right?! Back before I became quite a bit lazier than I should admit. I was a pretty sought after highschool running back and ice hockey goalie running at least 5 miles 7 days a week and swimming laps for 6 hours a week my resting was right around 50 bpm now though ..... It's about 88

[@legendsofmyself]

You can tell she's all positive vibes as a human being & the whole jump rope side to it just helps her express it

[@jeffreyhill1011]

Her whole attitude is so attractive. The fact she is always smiling and just super happy seeming is something we should all desire in life.

Keep doing what you love, your discipline is inspiring.

[@chrisray1567]

I love that she openly admits that she has no natural talent for jump rope, that she had to practice to get where she is now. Mastery is achieved through practice, not birth.

Not always

I'm afraid that isn't always the case. I was never going to have the natural talent of Maradona

I agree, Practice/Repetition is how you get good at something. Perseverance is much more important than natural talent. Nobody got to the top of their game without putting in thousands of hours... Plenty have gotten there without any innate talent.
