Kavya likes hula hoop and jump rope

Kavya has been trying to getting better at hula hoop for couple of months now and we are seeing some improvement every time he tries. She is able to keep the hula hoop going on her waist for about 15-20 seconds now. I am sure with some more practice, she will soon become an expert.

Her lastest passion has been jump rope. They have a "Jump Rope for Heart" event organized by the American Heart Association in school and so she had been learning and practicing. I showed her different types of jumps (cross legs, one leg, both legs at the same time) that I used to do as a kid and she has been trying to learn them all. She is getting pretty good at it. She has been able to do about 30 jumps with both legs and she has gone as far as 85 with a cycle-like jump. She also learnt a side-ways jump on her own. Every time she gets some free time, she just wants to jump rope now.

I like it because she is learning something new and it also keeps her stay fit.
