Thanks so much for posting this info. Very motivated. I have 40lbs to lose : /. Post baby and in nursing school makes it tough, but tomorrow my jump rope trial begins!

American Psycho was awesome btw, “Shadow” (the parts I actually watched) was pretty sick and awesome as well.

Have a great week! Xx

Some great workout ideas. I travel for work a lot and love the fact that I can pack my skipping rope in my bag, without it taking up much room. While I’m away all I need is a little bit of space, about 30mins of time and I can have myself a free HIIT workout.

Yavor,

Great post. I love fighting with my jump rope; just can’t get consistent to keep going for long durations.

I like working in different variations: one leg, alternating legs, and cross-overs.

How do you recommend working into double-unders? I haven’t managed to get them, yet.

Very thorough jump rope workout post – especially the progression from beginner to proficiency! When I first started training at the gym I used to do a boxer style jump rope routine as the finisher to my resistance training. Years later I discovered it was an excellent – not to leave out ‘fun’ – way to get in a great HIIT workout when I didn’t have time to go to the gym.

I’m going to try this, I recently bought a rope with my pull up bar. I’ll learn how to get good and give this one a go.

Good info!

Shine,

1 round could be 1-3 minutes depending on your level. If you count 2 skips for ~ 1 sec, then one 1 min round is 100-120 skips.

Cheers,

I don’t really understand the rounds thing. How long/number of skips is one round?

That guy Ross Enamait is an incredible trainer, I think the only person I’ve seen rival him on a skip rope is Floyd Mayweather!

John,

it’s mainly from the ankles. The knees are not locked, they are held ‘soft’ but the movement comes mainly from the calves.

Cheers,

Yavor
