As an open water swimmer at heart, I got fed up with pool swimming about a month ago, and switched to almost entirely to cross country skiing 2-3 times/wk, about an hour per ski. I jumped back in the pool this week, and felt like I hadn't missed a beat; perhaps even a little stronger. I haven't had this experience with any other activity; certainly not running or biking. Now what to do about mud season - no snow and icy lakes. Hm.

I use a jump rope. I like to jump while I jog (jog-jump) as opposed to jumping in one spot, mostly to keep it fun. Also, jog-jumping it easier on my lower legs than the one-spot jump. When traveling, I've found the rope a great way to get in a cardio workout and it's easy to carry.
