12-Minute Jump Rope Workout
Jump Rope workouts are the BEST!
They are easy to take on the road because a jump rope takes practically no space and you can get a great workout in a short amount of time.
They are also great for days when you want to torch calories but don't have a lot of time.
This workout starts with 2 minutes of jumping rope, followed by 1 minute of body weight exercise.
Each successive sequence adds on one more minute of jumping rope.
Switching the movement every minute helps your muscles not get overwhelmed so quickly.
Jumping Rope is one of those things that you may need to work up to.
So, take it easy and stay consistent with this. Add it as a warm-up 1-3 times each week. You'll be amazed at how quickly your body responds and soon you'll feel like a jump rope CHAMP!
