Be a Rope Jumper.

November 7, 2010Fitness, WellnessBy A Healthy Balance

Rocky Balboa was on to something when he incorporated jumping rope into his workout routine. Honestly, when is the last time you jumped rope? Thinking back to my childhood, I remember jumping rope as a fun game my friends and I used to sing songs to, but now its a great addition to my workouts and usually at the end I’m breathing so heavy that I couldn’t possibly sing a song.

Jumping rope incorporates nearly every area of fitness including cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, and agility. And, it’s relatively cheap and you don’t need a lot of space or fancy equipment to do it. As you get better and your jumping skills and fitness improve there are several variations you can add for a greater challenge and to keep things interesting. Go to http://library.thinkquest.org/5407/skills.html for some ideas. And don’t forget to have fun!

 

Be Healthy. Be Balanced.
