Flick That Wrist

In just a few fluid motions a jump rope workout will use most, if not all the major muscles of your body. 

From your legs, butt and abs right up to your chest, shoulders and arms you will feel the burn of a good workout just by jumping rope.

Take advantage of what Boxers and Martial Artists have known all along about this all encompassing cardio assault.

Once you’ve mastered the basics, found your natural rhythm and on your way to developing long, lean muscles in all top and bottom major muscle groups, you’ll enjoy the versatility of this flexible workout as it encourages creativity and spontaneity.

Switch it up and spend some more quality time on your core. Although your abs are already working to balance your body as you jump up and down, you can push them even further by just bending forward slightly with each jump while raising your knees as close to your chest as possible. Obliques can also be activated by raising just one knee at a time higher than normal towards your chest.

The back of the arms are well known trouble regions, target these and engage your triceps just by holding your arms out away from the side of your body for short intervals.

Quite possibly the cheapest and most practical piece of equipment you can take and use anywhere, anytime. Jump ropes are available at low cost from all leading sporting goods retailers. Put it in your briefcase, suitcase, backpack or back pocket and get into the swing of things.
