Jump Rope
Jumping Rope and Losing Calories
We’ve probably heard about jump rope when we were still kids. Or perhaps we’ve been jump roping ourselves for the purpose of play and in the process developed the good looks that our bodies possess today.
The benefits of jump rope are time tested. Doing the jump rope as part of one’s routine will definitely get one into a better shape , and more. Studies reveal that doing a jump rope for less than a quarter of an hour sheds off 135 calories. This amazing feat is made possible because when we jump rope, our body parts and muscles move, starting from the shoulders down to the legs. Jump rope may sound like child’s play, but it works.
But if being agile like a child may be difficult for you now, then starting out with the basics may be the more practical thing to do. A better understanding of the jump rope basics is shown best in the purchase of Marty Winkler’s DVD: “Burn 135 Calories in Just 10 Minutes”.
The DVD features the following basic jump rope demonstrations for starters:
- Jumping high enough from the floor so the rope can pass from under your feet without entangling you up or making you miss a skip;
- Adjusting your arms and properly placing them at the sides while swinging the rope and jumping; swinging the rope with your wrists; keeping the shoulders at rest at all times;
- Completing the exercise even when you’re already getting tired, letting go of the jump rope but not stopping the motion of your limbs; and
- Getting the right jump rope size for better results.
