January 29th, 2010 |

Are you tired of jogging? Are you tired of walking, cycling, swimming? Do you wish to look good at the beach; now that the surf is up and the heat is on? An affirmative answer to two of these queries requires you to start a new routine called jumping or jumping a rope.

Jumping is a much simpler means of losing weight. It requires good reflexes, proper juxtaposition of hand, feet, shoulder and head. You may stumble at the beginning. But, once you get the knack of it, you can do better. Reading this, may make you look at jumping rope, as simple. In reality, it is a very good fat buster.

You burn lot of calories by jumping a rope for 15 minutes; which equates to 114% of your body mass in pounds. Jumping rope, is a tremendous way to get started. Your body needs a warming up routine, before you do any push-ups, pull-ups, bench presses. So, jumping not only stimulates your lower body; but also, your upper body as well.
It is a good source for more blood flow to the upper arms which facilitates heavy weight lifting activities. It helps to stretch your upper chest, shoulder and vastly improves your stance. It helps the joint muscles more by warming them up.

Jumping rope is one of the best plyometric exercise. Normally speaking, when we speak about plymetrics, we think of box jumping, depth jumping, and broad jumping. Basketball includes some sudden, jerking, hopping, cracking movements. Jumping rope helps you in these knee jerking reactions.

For people who don’t have a jump robe; don’t worry about it. Any ten foot length of rope will do. Handles are not a necessity. You can adjust the rope to your height; just by coiling it around your wrist.

So, what are you waiting for? Get a good length of rope and start jumping.
