- Good afternoon folks.
what setting on my 245 would be best suited for skipping? I can’t run at the moment and would still like to track myself through the app.
thanks for any help,
have a great day

You can't run, but you want to go skipping?
At first I was thinking the same thing. But if 3028508 is referring to skipping rope, then it can have slightly less impact on the joints, depending on your typical running style.
The other thing is that maybe 3028508 is doing the COVID-19 "shelter in place," but can easily skip rope at home. Although, in my location "sheltering in place" doesn't mean I can't go outside for a run. Just need to avoid getting too close to anyone.

That makes sense. I was trying to picture someone skipping down the street or trail. All I could picture was Dorothy going down the yellow brick road. :)

LOL! Yeah I had that in my mind also.
I would think any sort of indoor cardio workout would do. Something without having GPS enabled. You would simply be tracking time and heart rate. I'm not sure how accurate your HR data will be since you'll be holding the jump rope.
In case it wasn’t obvious I meant rope skipping.
Nope. It must be a regional thing. In 52 years I never heard of it referred to as skipping. Jumping rope and skipping are two different things where I come from. Like I said, I wasn't trying to be rude.
For skipping rope/jump rope tracking, I would suggest that you download Plyometric app by Fbbbrown from CIQ. Free version is for 5 minute trial. Paid version is for 2USD for a year. I tried the trial version and it's good. Lots of data and many data fields.

yes works really well for me. Latest update no longer counts steps during rest. I use it with hrm run and my 5x. Should work well with your 245 as well.
