Perhaps memories of the elementary school playground are the first that pop into mind when you think about jump roping, but it's time to take your childhood play to another level!
Jump roping is a great alternative to your usual cardio activity. Not only does it quickly raise your heart rate, which often translates to a higher caloric burn, but jumping rope benefits your overall athletic ability as well.
Jump rope training will enhance:
- Coordination
- Agility
- Quickness
- Footwork
- Endurance
Jump roping is a fun twist to throw into your workout because of its versatility. You have footwork to play with; small hops, one-footed, wide stance, switch footed, etc. Also, the rope itself can be manipulated whether its moved slower or faster, cross-overs, double-unders, etc. By including different types of foot placement, rope speed, and jump height, you will keep your workout fresh and exciting, and you are therefore more likely to stick to staying fit!

Bootcamp Workout of the Week for a high-intensity workout that includes jump roping!
