Smiling Is Good For Your Health
One study out of the University of Kansas found that intentional smiling can improve not only your mood but your body’s stress response by activating the release of neuropeptides. Aside from being an obvious stress release, smiling has been found to lower blood pressure and improve immune function.

Invest in a jump rope if you don’t own your own rope. Whether you are doing double unders or still doing singles (and working on getting double unders) You need a rope that is sized for you.
Don’t rely on grabbing someone else’s rope that was left at the gym. You need a rope in your gym bag.
