I never realized how hard jumping rope was till my 7 yr. old asked me to try. That’s one I’d sweat after 5 minutes for sure.

I did my 5k training run and pushups. I also had 64 oz of water (so far) and got 5 f/v servings in!

1 Minute pushups is about 10 or 15 push ups for me hehe… But I love the dancing for 5 minute part because I do this thing too.
