By Donell Barlow

Are you tired of thinking of food in terms of calories, carbs, fats and protein? Maybe you’re always trying the new fad diets out there — the ones that make you count calories, and eliminate carbs — and then as soon as you go off the diet you gain all of the weight back.

After everything I have learned on my own journey of a health and through my education of nutrition I have found that balance is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and you are unique in your own needs.

Food energetics is the relationship between how a particular food is grown and cultivated, and how it is cooked and combined with other foods.

After over a year of watching everyone at Farmgirlfit master double unders around me, I wondered why I couldn’t quite get the hang of it. I mean, I’m uncoordinated — but not that uncoordinated.

And then, a couple weeks ago, I realized I was using a rope that was about a foot too short for me. Oops. For some reason I was always grabbing that orange-handled rope — one I learned is for someone that’s about 5-foot-2. I’m 5-10.

Now that I’m working with the right equipment, I’m on my way. And I thought it might be good to ask for a few tips that can help with mastering the art of double unders. Farmgirlfit trainers Jenni Niemann and Laura Wambold weighed in with some great advice.
