Answer
Hi Daci,

What you are asking for is all good stuff but hard to teach in an email. I will do my best to help but I will need a couple of days to put something together for you.

To start you can jump rope to stay in shape. This helps with your stanima and strengthing your legs and arms.

I will write back in a couple of days.
