Trying to get more endurance and blood flowing but not sure how to go about it.
What type of endurance? Running and jumping rope will build endurance, stamina too. Depending on how long you want to go.

There's functional endurance too. Get you a sledge hammer and a tire and go to work. Build up to 30 mins. Eventually get up to an hour. If you're real about it you could split wood. Otherwise sledging works.

Time based. Set a timer for 5 mins. Don't stop until it's over. Then 10 mins, then 15 mins. Then 20 mins, then 25. Build up to an hour.

If you order an electronic jump rope which is cheap (7.99 Amazon). You can program it to 500 jump, 1000 jumps, 1500 jumps, 2000 jumps. And it'll alarm once the metric is hit.

The time one is a good one. Once you get that, hitting the variables such as 500 jumps, 1500 jumps is a breeze. You just turn your mind off and jump until it beeps. I understand a lot of people don't have one of the electronic jump rope though. You can usually find them locally and cheap. Sometimes Walmart or target has them and they are pretty cheap, $10 often times they try to charge upwards of $20 which is too much imo.

I got you.

I will start with the time and when I reach my goal, I'll flip to number.
