What's up ladies and gentlemen welcome back to day number two of our seven day challenge where we teach you how to just learn how to jump rope. So in today's video we're going to cover correct hand placement on the jump rope along with how far to extend your arms when skipping. Before we do any of that what I want you to do is pause and we're gonna run through two 30 second periods of just practicing the regular bounce to pick up from yesterday. So let's stop, let's break, let's do two rounds of 30 seconds of you just practicing regular bounce with the jump rope and then we'll get into hand placement. Alright ladies and gentlemen so first we're gonna start off with a little bit of practice from yesterday. We got branded on the jump rope again doing regular bounce. All I want you guys to do here is focus again on your rhythm the homework from yesterday that one two three four bouncing and just slowly do the regular bounce. If you can't go very fast that is completely fine. Remember guys the most important thing is that we want you to get your form down. If you don't get your form down you're not gonna be able to do all the other tricks and everything for jump rope that you need to be able to do. So make sure to concentrate most of this most of your time first on just being perfect at doing the regular bounce. Let's go one more 30 second interval here ladies and gentlemen and then we'll have you into the tutorial where we'll talk about hand placement for the day. And guys don't you know you don't need to go as fast for this this is more about just finding your rhythm so if you need to go a little bit slower that's fine don't worry about it. Now that you guys have practiced let's go take a look at how to hold the rope when jumping. Alright ladies and gentlemen hand placement of the jump rope look first when I'm holding the rope my hands are out and my palms are facing upward and my thumbs are on the rope a lot of people make the mistake of gripping the rope and wrapping their thumb around their hand you actually want to have the thumb up near the top of the handle so that you can control it more and also like you see here as I start jumping with it my hand placement is keeping the rope open so when you're holding the jump rope and spinning it as you can see here you want to have a nice open handle and again have your thumb up towards the end of the handle and you want to have a nice relaxed grip don't be squeezing the rope too tight because you want to be able to whip it around and have your wrists and forms controlling it. Alright ladies and gentlemen that's how you hold the rope the next thing I want to focus on is your arms. The arms are very important because I see a lot of people going like this and they take their power away when their arms are straight like that the right form to have for your arms when jumping rope is to have your elbows in and spinning like this so your wrists and forearm are really controlling everything and keeping the rope tight excuse me keeping the rope tight. This guys arm extension by far the biggest mistake I see people making is extending their arms too far. Do you see here how my arms are bent this is the reason I'm able to spin the rope very fast as you'll see here from the footage in a second. I keep my elbows in and all I'm doing is using my forearms and my wrist to spin the rope around at a very high pace that ladies and gentlemen is exactly what we want. Look here look how much control I have look how tight the rope stays because I have that leverage because I'm wound up like a coil and my forearms and wrist are controlling everything a lot of people make the mistake of extending their arms and then they have no power the rope doesn't stay tight it doesn't swing fast enough and they mess up. Putting into practice what we have learned I'm going to take you guys through two 30 second periods of just jumping rope and a lot of this footage up next is going to focus on showing you the proper form with your forearms and hand placement of the jump rope. Alright ladies and gentlemen low homework time let's go let's focus on our wrist placement and also our arm extension so check again look at my wrists here check out my wrists they are literally exactly they're open my thumbs are going towards the top of the handle and the rope is very tight my left elbow isn't as far in but again guys they don't have to be I want to stress they don't have to be the whole way in but just notice as I turn it aside here my upper arm pretty much stays exactly where it is and then everything that's moving is in my forearm and wrist that's really what you want it to look like come on send you nation 10 second rest and then we're right back on it and guys for those who are a little bit overachievers don't just do this twice feel free to do this more feel free to do this four times if you're feeling up for it you feel like you need a little bit more practice keep practicing guys be sure to stay tuned for tomorrow's video and we'll get right back after it in today's endu nation be sure to stay tuned for tomorrow's video where we cover proper foot placement when jumping rope and also changing speeds


But there was no one, no one there to keep my daddy in his box. The next day he wore a set your downtown house to the scene. Get on with it. 1949, before you were born. Don't touch me. I've got this. I know how to do it. Shallow Water, which was created by Bernard Lomax. My daddy was known as the Shallow Water, man. Shallow Water. I invited you to my house on Mardi Gras morning. And my father always said, you're never ready to go. You put on your suit, you put on your suit, because it's Mardi Gras morning.  I'm trying to walk out with feathers in my ear. I'm trying to make it this year. I really am. And I just want you to know, in addition to this, I have a big reunion. The fate of the big reunion is for the chiefs and the kings and god. I'm queen. There are several odds that I am walking away from the camp to fit in that behind me. It shows that we do. We try to make sure people see themselves in what we do, that we're not excited. We're not something you look at and talk about, but we're something that you can experience with us. The struggle for dignity, the struggle for health, the struggle for having an authentic voice, and the struggle to present your culture in the ways that you want to present. We're not saying we want to work with people. We want to work with people, but we want meaning for collaboration. Don't try to fit us into your mind. Don't be too disheartened. I don't want to thank my phenomenal brother for every kind of day. We tried to stay up top. We're going to transition. Okay. Okay. We should be thanking you.


Sometimes, sometimes you just find something that is just groundbreaking, groundbreaking revolutionary and just one of those things that you just got to spread the love. Dolce Gabbana, Velvet Amber Sun, one of the most complimented conversations starting amber fragrances I've ever put my nose on. Welcome to the channel where fashion means fragrance. My name is Kevin Samuels, your style godfather. And guys, today's video I'm coming to you live from the office and I wanted to talk to you about this one right here. Dolce and Gabbana, Velvet Amber Sun. What are my favorite fragrance notes? Rose Amber Oud. Yep, I love Rose Amber Oud. And I tell you guys, I own a lot of amber fragrances. From Tom Ford Amber Absolute to Amber Absolutely Amber Loop. The list just goes on forever. I'm always looking to grab a great amber fragrance. I like my amber's resonance. I like them powdery. I like them sweet. I like them dry. I like all kinds of amber's. However, who would have known that Dolce and Gabbana would come up with one of the best amber fragrances that I've ever put on from compliments and conversation starters? That is this one right here. I'm going to tell you I have a neighbor who we really don't get along. Her dog likes me, but we really don't get along. I pet her dog. First, it came knocking on the door. Excuse me. What were you wearing when you pet my dog? It smelled so good. I like to get it from my husband. That's this one out and about walking around even with the CV running around out here with the social distance and people are like, excuse me, man, write notes. What are you wearing? This one, this one, this one, this one. And to come from the Dolce and Gabbana Exclusive or Private line is even better because you don't hear a lot of stuff from this line. I'm going to change that. I have several of them, but this one is special. Let's get into the C3PO system, the compliment factor on my skin. Super amazed boss compliments. This is probably going to be one of my most compliment fragrances of 2020. I see that already, but not only does it get compliments, it starts conversations. People will come up to you and ask you what you're wearing when you're rocking and wearing this performance, a solid six to eight hours plus projection, two to three feet and it keeps pushing for a good two or three hours. But the special ingredient, the sea eyes, the flavor trail. This thing has a long flavor trail, three feet plus style personality I see pulling this off. It's definitely going to be much more of that player flirt.  And the occasion I can see you pulling this off, believe it or not guys, this stuff is actually signature scent worthy and that's unique for an amber. Why? Because it doesn't have that hard incense peppery resonance thing. It's actually much easier to wear in temperate climates or warmer climates. I mean, right now it was in the mid eighties today and this was on and people were loving it. Even as we are coming back to life, this fragrance is been killer. Now I will say this, this fragrance line in my opinion does not get enough talk. I'm going to talk about several of them. This is the only ones I brought with me, but there are some great ones in there. Here's the thing with the price point on this, I do not agree with the price point on just a 50 ML for what you get here. 50 ML, I think they're tripping on the price. But this one, this one, this one is worth retail. If you got to pay retail for this one, grab it and get it, especially if you like what I like. If you like ambers, like I like ambers, if you have a lot of ambers and you're looking for something really, really special, don't check Gabana Amber Sun. But like I would say, I leave room for conjecture. Don't just believe me. Head us up in the comments section. Do you own this? Do you own it and have you worn it and tested it? I don't mean if you just sprayed it on your hand. Did you go for a Grand Ticker or base nose or something? Did you actually rock and wear this? If you like it, I'm so cool. Not cool. Keep it cool. Keep it classy. Inquiring minds are like to know. Godfather out. Hey guys, whether look, style, or life, whether personal or professional, you can level up and be your personal best each and every day. If you're interested in any of that, do us both a favor, follow the link in the description and book your one-on-one session with me. I'll see you in the next one. Peace.
