You'd think that someone who cycles as much as I do would have legs of steel by now - especially when you throw in the squats as well.
Wrong!
The last 2 days I've been punching bags and jumping rope in a boxing gym and my calves are hurting like hell. Evidently, you don't use your calves so much when you pedal. This is what I discovered.
So, my calves are now very sore.
Another thing I noticed was I winded up breathing very hard while skipping. It took me time to hop from foot to foot and get myself in gear but it's hard work for sure.
Anyone tried jumping rope?
