What You Should Know About A Jump Rope Fitness WorkoutA Simple 3-Part Jump Rope Fitness RoutineFor most of her life Mia Dinneed hasn't worried about weight. Managing coordinator for a local food service operation when she hit the big 3-0 all that changed. Suddenly excess pounds held on tight. Clinging more closely to her hips than a child experiencing their first Halloween.
Her friend introduced her to a mini jump rope fitness workout routine that involved three different jumping rope exercises. Good thing since Mia hadn't given any thought to the different types of ways to jump rope. First there was the traditional single skip at from 60-120 turns a minute. That means landing on one foot then alternating with the other. Then move to the double skip where you are landing on both feet. Finally, getting fancy, do the double skip only twist your feet and alternate pointing to the left and then the right with each jump. She also suggested well-cushioned sneakers. Probably cross trainers to cushion against impact. Jump Rope Fact: Did you know 10 minutes of vigorous rope skipping starts to approach the work out equivalent of running a mile? Try to vary your speed jumping faster with one of the three. Also Dinneed starts off with a different one each time she does them. Just to add a bit of variety to the workout. See? Nothing to it. In no time you'll be a jump rope workout pro too.
