The Benefits of Jumping Rope

In just 15 to 20 minutes, it will give you an unparalleled total body workout.

A lot of muscles are being worked at the same time. This can create muscle tone and definition.

To make workouts more challenging and intense, you can use a weighted jump rope.

It enhances performance in any sport.

It’s also great for eye-hand coordination, lateral movement, foot and hand speed and agility.

It can be used at the beginning of workouts for a warm-up.

Passive rest breaks in between lifts can be substituted with rope-jumping sessions. This can keep your heart rate up and promote more weight loss.

Jump rope workouts can be effective in helping you lose weight and reduce your disease risk.
