Jump Rope

Thought jump ropes were just for kids? Think again!

Skipping has serious benefits – a few minutes provide a mega quick cardio workout, that will really push your heart and lungs, and jumping is a form of plyometrics which build expolsive strength (GREAT for sprinting).

The best exercise with this – is, well – skipping. Make sure you jump with both legs, and skip for short intervals, giving it everything you’ve got to elevate your heart rate close to maximum. Try interspersing the other exercises with 1-3 minutes of skipping.
