I had initially started by skipping 3 jumps, then 3 jumps, and then blacked out at the final 2 jumps. This was on Aug 2. I then decided to just skip 3 jumps every day. I kept this up for two weeks, then moved to 5 per day. Gradually I increased by end September to 20. I felt that at this rate, I’d be able to attain 150 per day by the first week of March. However, I was able to skip 175 at one go in Dec itself. By Feb end, I was skipping 3000 per day (it takes about 45 minutes), and by June, around 5000 per day. I then had to stop after injuring both my knees by knocking them against the table support at work. This adventure was in 2009, and as my knees are mostly recovered, I’m looking forward to begin skipping yet again !

My lessons: I’m not competing with anyone any more, so even small goals like 2 skips/jumps a day are good enough since I couldn’t start with more. What was important was being regular everyday.

Goal should be SMART one

S-Specific
M-Measurable
A-Atainable
R-Realistic
T-Time Bound
I keep a pebble in my purse to remind me of my goals , which I have written in a peice of paper and kept it in my purse

But keep it to yourself. A scientific study has shown that by sharing your personal goal with others, your brain derives feeling of fulfilment. Brain fools itself as if the said goal is already accompliashed. This takes away your inner drive for the goal.
Its time for me to finalize my goals. What are they? I won’t tell you :)
