Jumping Rope Is the Best Total-Body Workout


Jumping Rope Is the Best Total-Body Workout


Here's a 12-minute circuit to get you started



Winter wants you to fail. It’s cold, it’s dark, there are cookies everywhere. And thanks to those well-intentioned resolutions, there are now goals to fall short of. Reports indicate that as many as 80 percent of New Year’s resolutions—many of them being losing weight—go unfulfilled by February. And while bomb cyclones and perilously icy sidewalks abound, your excuses have no place in these winter months.
Introducing your new, 10-dollar, calorie-torching ally: the jump rope.
“There are so many health benefits from jumping rope,” Jeremiah Maestre, boxer and trainer at Rumble Boxing in New York City, says. “You get increased cardiovascular levels, flexibility, rhythm, muscle tone, shoulders, arms, and legs.”
Jump Rope Circuit
A traditional boxing round is three minutes of work with a one-minute break in between each round.
Total workout time: 12 minutes
For the last :30 of each round push the intensity/speed with double-unders, high knees, and criss-cross formations. And if you mess up, keep going!
