Surprise, I like to jump rope. I started jump roping in elementary school & in 5th grade traveled on our school’s performing jump rope team, the Ropin’ Wranglers promoting healthy lifestyles. Classic Wyoming name. Since then it’s been a go to work out for me to turn on some tunes and jump around for 30 mins. . . . During the last month, I figured I’d share more since it seems to be entertaining to some of you (and me ?). ??@jeremylato and I made this video for our artistic outlet last week.
