Jumping rope is one of the most intense calorie-burning cardio exercises. While it is simple to learn, it is definitely not easy on the body. Turning the rope gives your upper body a continual workout, along with the jumping to build your legs and cardiovascular health. Jumping rope is a more effective full-body workout than some other cardio exercises like cycling or running. Done at a moderately intense level, you can burn up to 1000 calories in an hour using a jump rope.
Many athletes also cross-train by using a jump rope. We have all seen the boxers training with jump ropes in movies like Rocky, but it is also a great way to increase foot speed and endurance for any sport. Tennis players, basketball players, even football players have used jumping rope in their training routines to build explosiveness and quickness. If you are looking for an easy way to kick-start your training, throw one of our jump ropes in your gym bag.
