Another great and inexpensive fitness for the heart workout is skipping rope. There are many great health benefits to jump rope fitness workout regarding your cardiovascular system. First off, jumping rope is hard! When we were kids and could do that thing non-stop for hours, we were in great shape! Now that we have aged some it’s time to look back at our youth and restart our fitness routine.
If you have never jumped rope before, it’s a little bit of a tough motion to get used to initially. Jumping Rope in a forward motion is the easiest and the most comfortable. Work your way up to about 40-50 jumps in a row and then change it up a little and perform the routine on one foot at a time to make it more challenging on your leg muscles (especially calves). After you get the hang of jumping forward, add a backward jump in. If you only perform forward jumping you can have a problem with rounded shoulders. This puts all the pushing motion on the anterior (front part of your) deltoid. This is why we suggest jumping backwards as part of your routine as well.
When you get too good at jumping backwards, perform it one foot at a time. This is another challenging thing you can do for your cardio routine.
