Get a Boxers Cardio Workout With a Jump Rope
Bored with your current cardio workout? Running on the treadmill for 30 minutes is not my idea of fun. There are much better ways to get a great cardio workout in that are fast and super effective. That’s by jumping rope. You probably remember doing it as a kid in school. Well let me tell you, it’s not just for kids! Here’s a couple of reasons why you should incorporate a jump rope session into your next training day.
Typical cardio equipment for your home can run into thousands of dollars. You can pick up a jump rope in your local store for around $10 or less. For a piece of cardio equipment that is a pretty killer price. You can pick one up from any sporting goods or fitness store. You may also be able to find one in a department store. You don’t need to get the leather ones that boxers use. A cheap plastic one will work just as good. You can usually find these ones for just a couple of bucks.
You can use your new jumprope almost anywhere. You can use them at home indoors and out. You can also bring it with you to the gym or even down to the local park for a fun outdoor workout. Just toss it into your bag or purse and take it with you wherever you go. They are also great for sneaking in a quick cardio workout on your lunch break.
Just make sure that when using it indoors, the ceiling is high enough that the rope doesn’t hit it. The typical 8 or 9 foot ceiling won’t be high enough unless you are really short. The best options are to use the jump rope in a garage, outdoors or on the patio.
Until you’ve tried it, you won’t believe how quickly a jump rope will get your heart pumping. Start off with short workouts and build up over the course of a week or two. Just 5 or 10 minutes will do it. You’ll be sweating like a maniac and panting for breath by the end!
Give jumping rope a try. It’s a killer cardio workout that is fast, effective and inexpensive.
