It’s too bad that ten minutes of watching someone else jump rope doesn’t offer the same benefits as actually doing it yourself. Otherwise I’d be in the best shape of my life.
Jumping Rope from Big Mama on Vimeo.
Just a few thoughts:
1. I love how she addresses the camera like she’s talking to an audience. She was born for the stage.
2. It’s always a sad day when a girl doesn’t get as many compliments as she feels her hair and outfit deserve, especially when you’ve slept in braids and have a sweet 80’s waffle iron effect going on.
3. She continued to jump rope for another hour after I shot this video and when I went inside to cook dinner she asked me to open the kitchen window so she could yell at me every time she started a new jump rope rotation.
4. I tried to explain that I couldn’t keep my eyes on her at all times because I was slicing tomatoes and didn’t want to cut my finger. She replied, “What’s the big deal? You cut your finger all the time.”
5. It may be time to have a talk about treating others with kindness and empathy. Especially if it’s your mama.
