Rope jumping sends your heart rate skyward quickly, so don't be surprised if you have to stop after just 1 to 2 minutes the first time you try it. Just jog in place, catch your breath, and jump for another miniround when you're ready. Aim to do your rope jumping 3 or 4 days a week. Beginners should try to complete one 5- to 15-minute session. More experienced jumpers can shoot for 20 to 40 minutes. Remember that you can alternate jumping styles if one becomes boring.
Kilauea Update: Hawaii Lava Flow Complicates Volcano Tourism. Kilauea Update: The lava flow burns vegetation as it approaches a property boundary in a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) image taken near the village of Pahoa, Hawaii, October 28, 2014.
Kilauea's ongoing eruption, which began in 1983, is already the volcano's most destructive in the past 100 years. From 1983 to 1991, lava flows repeatedly invaded communities on Kilauea's coastal south flank, burying 8 miles of highway and destroying 181 houses and a visitor center in Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park.
