Time to order a jump rope from Amazon ASAP. There are a plethora of options. However, I don’t think suppliers have 300 million jump ropes in their inventory, so better hustle before it’s too late. BTW, the amazing jump rope I just ordered only cost $14.99.

The health benefits of fitness are immeasurable:

Strengthens immune system
Boosts mental health. According to cathe.com 5 critical neurotransmitters are released while exercising:
- Serotonin – the mood chemical that boosts positivity and substantially decreases depression
- Norepinephrine – the brain chemical that makes us more alert and focused
- BDNF – memory hormone that has a three fold increase through exercise, improving cognitive function
- Dopamine – the brain chemical that fuels motivation and reward
- Endorphins – the “feel good” chemicals
30 minutes of daily exercise improves sleep which strengthens immune system
Reduces stress
Burns calories and keeps us looking and feeling great

When something is this easy and has this many benefits, during such a critical, life-threatening time in American history, you have no choice but to just do it.

Let’s GO!
