Bounce! Bounce! Bounce! Explode

Double unders. My nemesis. But I wanted to do them, I had to do them. I tried and tried. Finally I found Buddy Lee.

I watched this video for days. I walked around saying, "Bounce, bounce, bounce, explode!" And then one day it happened. It was a cold early spring day and I was outside on our driveway shouting my bounce, bounce, bounce, explode mantra while jumping rope and it happened. I could not believe it. I actually linked three double unders! It felt like Christmas, my birthday, and Fourth of July in my heart and soul! I ran in the house to get my husband, Tommy, so that he could watch me and make sure the rope was really going under  me twice to one jump. I hit one of my goals.

First hand stand push ups, now double unders. I owned my life, I could do what I put my mind to doing. I could. Do you own your life? Do you set goals and work on them until you achieve them? It is the sweetness of life...take it!
