TweetWhy You Should Get Skipping!
Are You Jumping Rope?

So how to incorporate this fabulous “old fashioned” piece of equipment into your routine? There’s no right or wrong way, just do it! For me it honestly depends on how I feel and how much “over indulging” I have accomplished prior to my workout haha!! So sometimes I will jump in between exercises and other times when I’m feeling beastly, I will jump between sets during each exercise and then rest when I move to the next exercise. So for example:
Leg Day: Two Options
Squats: 4 x 20 reps
jump rope 1 min on 30 seconds off three times
Leg Press: 4x 20 reps
jump rope 1 min on 30 seconds off three times
RDL: 4 x 20 reps
jump rope 1 min on 30 seconds off three times
OR
Squats: 1 set x 20 reps
Jump rope 1 minute
1 set x 20 reps
Jump rope 1 minute
1 set x 20 reps
Jump rope 1 minute
1 set x 20 reps
Jump rope 1 minute
Leg press: 1 set x 20 reps
Jump rope 1 minute
Do that 4 times and then the same with RDL.
And when I say jump rope, I mean JUMP ROPE! Get after it!! Don’t double hop, don’t barely fling the rope around. Have light toe touches, fast jumps, and whip that rope around to get your heart rate flying! You will feel tired and fatigued but it’s OKAY!! If option two is too much stick to option one! If you can alternate between option 1 and 2 do that! Just get in there and work and watch the fat drip off! You can apply this to any work outs you do arms,back,Glutes, it works with them all! And if you can’t make it into the gym just jump rope using intervals at home! It’s way better than not doing anything at all. You can do any variation of intervals (1 min on 1 min off, two minute on one minute off, 30 seconds on 30 seconds off, 45 sec on 15 off, like I said, there’s no right or wrong way!) If you need to purchase a good jump rope you can head over to Sports Research and use my code for a discount on a rope with code: juliana10! It’s the exact one that I use and I love it! You can cut it to fit your body…which I love because I am short and no one in my gym will want take (or be able to use) my jump rope! =) hahaha! (disclaimer, if you can’t get a rope or you forget yours, you can still fake jumping rope and it will be a close alternative until you have one.)

TweetYep. Jump rope a lot. At least twice a week there is a lot of double unders in my workouts
TweetThat's something I haven't done in a while. It's been so long I don't even know if I can get off the ground high enough to get the rope under my feet lol.
Tweeti love to do it to warm up but the bouncing hurts my back even if I stay on my toes. really gets your calves a great pump with 50mg of winny to the point they might explode
