Jump Rope Training

[BKhunter]

Has anyone incorporated jump rope work outs into their preparation and workouts? I would think this would change things up a little bit and I have heard good things about these workouts. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to incorporate it into your fitness routine?

I don't have the coordination for jump roping to make it effective.

I do jump rope Tabatas style. 20 sec of work 10 sec rest, for 4 minutes

In my basketball days I was a jump rope fanatic. I used to do sets of 100 one leg, 100 other leg, 200 both legs, 200 running style, and then shoot free throws in between sets. I still pull the rope out every now and then in the driveway, but it's hard on the knees these days. I also loved working out on the bleachers at the stadium with the same kind of workout, but without the rope. Wish I had a stadium close by, I could handle that kind of cardio.

It's really not so much coordination but rythm and timing. I'm as big of an oaf as they get but am pretty decent at jump rope.

There are several jump rope programs to view on youtube, Tabatas are my favorite.

I did my first one this morning. Way harder than just running. Not something I'll do all the time but will keep mixing it in for sure.

I try to incorporate jump rope into my workouts at least 2 days a week. I do 200 between lifting sets to keep heart rate up. Shoot for 5 sets of 200. Get a quality rope and adjust the length to fit you, makes a big difference.

Thats what I started doing in order to keep my heart elevated during strength training. I also think it will help prepare my calves.

Sizing is very important. A good rope is also important.

Try learning double-unders once you are proficient with singles or get bored with them. Great Cardio workout

Yep, great for interval work.
