Use Jump Rope For Your Cardio Sessions

Ever heard this saying? Everything I ever needed to know I learned in kindergarten! In many cases this is true. One favorite kindergarten game (exercise) is woefully underutilized by exercisers: JUMPING ROPE!

It is one of the best exercises to use for warming up because it engages the total body. Jumping rope will strengthen and condition your calves, legs, torso and arms.



You can use jump roping to do interval cardio training. Jump for 1 minute as fast as you can and rest or walk for 2 minutes. Do this rotation for 20 minutes. You can burn up to 800 calories per hour with the jump rope! By using intervals when jumping rope, you are increasing your aerobic and anaerobic conditioning and burning fat like crazy!

Instead of warming up on the treadmill, warm up using the jump rope. It will improve your balance, coordination, power, speed and strength. Jump with two feet, one-foot-at-a-time, alternating feet, skier's slalom jumps and straddle jumps. If nothing else, your exercise will never become boring by using these jump rope moves!

You can also use the jump rope to play games with friends and family. Fun exercise is the best exercise!
