BR has blocked me! And did you know there are cordless jump ropes?

So I know that I cannot like or comment on anything on Lisa's FB page - but I can share. I have NO idea why.

Last week BR posted my interview with Freddy and people complained that the post's font and set up was awful. I therefore posted a link directly to my blog. I mean it wasn't out of context! They've blocked me since. Seriously? I bring them EVEN more business for Pete's sake. Oh well.

On another note, I saw some people complaining about jumping rope on both Lisa's and on Zuzka's pages about not being able to do it indoors. - Not enough space inside or ceiling are too low.
Well low and behold there are CORDLESS jump ropes! So neat.

Not the same as the real thing, but I think it would do for the winter season, when traveling or when tight on space. Loving this idea.

Some can be weighted, some have calorie counters, some come with workout DVD's etc. There are lots to choose from: HERE.

  1. That's pretty cool - the cordless jump ropes, not you being blocked! I was blocked a while ago, I believe it is because I mentioned what I do on rest days (vinayasa yoga) and I provided a link on the page --- and lo and behold I was blocked from Lisa's page. It actually made me upset, lol. I've since gotten over it but it's interesting that in helping people out in the fitness community, it warrants one to get blocked.

    I was blocked from the actual Bodyrock FB and Instagram page a while ago. I believe I actually did post a critique, not an insult, definitely nothing ~haterish~ but frankly BR was a lot more defensive then about things. Freddy actually found me on Instagram and apologized, which was cool. It's small potatoes, the social media wars, but it was a bit high school and probably more to be attributed to the person handling the social media than someone like Lisa/Freddy themselves.

    Still! Weird. I'm sorry.

    1. Really? He found you and apologized? That is cool. It probably was who ever handles their social media, but I'm sure Freddy/Lisa have a say in it. I was just surprised because I HELP their cause, and posted a relevant link! But whatever. :)

    2. Yep, I had commented on a photo on Instagram (when their handle was still @bodyrockofficial and he was really cool and responded on a photo of mine. I never was able to comment on FB again but it was a great gesture that didn't go unappreciated. Link here: http://instagram.com/p/Q-veU-wg1p/

    3. I guess that's still their handle; I just don't follow anymore because I can't comment, lol. I still make comments on their actual website, sometimes on Pinterest, with modifications I make for each day, equipment or otherwise. Just to be part of the community.

  2. I'm blocked from zuzka page. That actually made me realize I shouldn't critic I guess. So I'm trying to be positive even though that made me angrier haha. I saw that lisa actually shared your blog. Pretty cool!!

  3. Gina- I must be missing something. People complained that the version BR posted had bad font? Have you asked Freddy if this was a mistake (blocking you)?

    Suri- what did you post that got you blocked from Zuzka?

    1. I didn't ask Freddy, but maybe I should. I posted a link and you're not supposed to, but I thought it would be ok in this case. I guess not! But people complained that the version BR posted was hard to read - not mine on this blog.
