“The very first time I tried it, I couldn’t get it. I actually threw away my rope. Jump rope is not for me.” — Tan Nim
Tan Nim and I have had the chance to jump before, but this is first time we’ve really had a full conversation. Tan is putting in some serious work as fitness trainer, and we cover a lot of topics including some of his clients that have lost a significant amount of weight, whether or not you need to be coordinated to jump rope, using rest to get farther with your skills, and a whole lot more.
