So what is this forgotten training tool your asking? It's
called the jump rope. People seem to neglect this tool BIG
time in their training. Boxers have been using it for many
years in their boxing training workouts to shred the fat
from their bodies in a hurry. Now you can to.
Why do so many people neglect the jump rope? I feel people
really don't want to look foolish using this wonderful
training tool. Jumping rope takes coordination to use. Many
people lack seem to lack coordination. When people begin
jumping rope they tend to get frustrated as the rope gets
tangled in their feet. I say if you can't, you must! and
you will start to build a beautiful rhythm if you stay with
it. That's the great benefit of using this tool. Your
conditioning improves, you burn lots of fat, and your
coordination improves like never before. Like the saying
goes, Nothing great in life comes easy!
Here is a sample jump rope workout you can use to get
started.
Getting Started
You can start out using one or two minute rounds. This will
all depend on your current condition. If you're out of
shape start with one minute rounds. If you are semi fit,
use two minute rounds. Rest one minute between rounds. Keep
a nice constant brisk pace going. Try performing 2-4
rounds. Again, this all depends on your current condition.
While you're jumping rope, you want to jump close to the
ground. Jumping to high will beat up your joints. Just stay
relaxed and build a nice rhythm.
Mixing it up
You can mix up the workout by shuffling your feet while
jumping. Just shuffle your feet front to back while
jumping. Be patient, as this takes a lot of coordination to
do.
Putting it to use
If you can stick with the above guidelines, I guarantee
that you will see your waist line shrink. You will gain
confidence, along with improved coordination. Try getting
this from a stationary bike, stair climber, or elliptical!
I can't emphasize enough, on why this workout makes so much
sense to perform! Along with the low cost of the jump rope,
it takes little space to perform. You get a great workout
in less time. If you do it at home you also save on drive
time to the gym.
This is even more reason to go get started!
