Jump Rope

14 December 2011 Health 179 views No Comment

I just acquired a jump rope for my trip. The jump rope is an inexpensive tool and quick cardio workout. Many things can be done using the jump rope.

You really can do anything with a jump rope. Fast, Slow, Intervals, Long, Short, One foot, Two feet, Double jump, Footwork, etc. Everything is good! Your heart rate definitely increases and you burn FAT! In about ten minutes of jumping you can burn 130 calories.

MY routine will be something like….

Warm up: jog in place or around the area I am hanging out (outside). 25 jumping jacks.
Interval 1: Slow intensity of jumping for two minutes
Interval 2: Fast for one minute
Interval 3: squats for one minute
Interval 4: slow for one minute
Interval 5: fast for one minute
Interval 6: Push ups – one minute
Interval 7: Fast 30 seconds, break 10 seconds, fast 30 seconds
Interval 8: Lay the jump rope on the ground and do lateral jumps for 30 seconds.
Interval 9: As many double jumps in 30 seconds
Interval 10: Rest

THEN REPEAT!
You seriously can do anything. Jump Roping is so effective.
