🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A mobile app that tracks 'shadow jumping' cadence and intensity using phone sensors to provide feedback on workout quality.
  2. A weighted handle set that simulates the resistance of a rope without the physical cord to prevent tripping.
  3. A video tutorial series specifically designed for seniors focusing on low-impact jump rope alternatives and coordination drills.
