Why Jump Rope?

Do you want a quick calorie burner? Then this is for you. Jumping rope can burn 135 calories in 10 minutes. It is also a portable workout, you only need about 10 inches of room above your head, and about four by six feet of floor space. It is very aerobic so always make sure you have your physician's okay to start an exercise program.

To challenge yourself try jumping on one foot, alternating from left to right foot. Or jump as fast as you can on both feet. Jumping rope gives you a whole body workout in a short amount of time. You will sculpt the chest shoulders, arms, and legs.

The really lovely thing is that jump ropes are inexpensive. You can pick one up for under $5 or get a weighted one for just a little more. Add some burpees or push ups and you have a quick workout that will boost your metabolism for the whole day. What's not to like?
