Just think of the condition we could all be in if we could double-dutch now. I would love to be able to do it again – at the age of 47. Jumping rope is supposed to be great to lower cholesterol. Maybe I’ll go buy a rope. The kids in the city of Baltimore don’t quite do d/d the same as we did as kids. They jump on one foot at a time, alternating feet back and forth. We jumped from side to side, both feet together.
For the lady looking for chinese jumprope – I bet if you went to the library you could find some illustrations. Don’t they have everything in the library?
Jumprope, hopscotch and jacks were my favorites. Board games came in second. I guess I was a cheap kid.
