Use to do it 10mn before each workout. Nice for cardio and calves (which has been said). Also, it's quite satisfying to jump double or "cross" jump when you master it. Keep it up

There really is no excuse
I was hardcore into it for a while. Learned a lot of the tricks and got pretty good for my size- 6’4. I feel like it perhaps unsurprisingly was hugely beneficial for coordination and footwork and even speed. A year later most of those benefits have stayed. Solid cardio too. I put too much impact on my knees though doing insanity- plyometrics as cardio is fricking stupid never do this- so eventually my knees started to hurt this I stopped. Otherwise I’d still be doing it
I’m 250lbs and I jump rope all the time. If your knees start to hurt just stop. I’ve been doing it since I was in middle school though (am tall, did it for basketball)
Yes I skip for 15 min before every workout. Occasionally will do 30 min straight for cardio. Less joint wear and tear than running and will get a better sweat in as well. I tend to go at a fast pace at 2 skips per second.
why is this so cardio intense?
i bike a frick ton and im at 5 w/kg and can hold 180 bpm for over an hour easy and skipping rope really elevates the hr like crazy
The whole body weight being bounced up and down by the calves combined with the strain in the arms from continuous whipping is surprisingly challenging to do for a longer period of time
Yes. It’s good for cardio and calves.
On god
how do I stop my arms wandering and my wrists not moving enough when I skip bros? I usually get like ten to twenty seconds in and catch myself
pay attention to what you're doing.
Will it give me nice looking abs my stomach moves a lot while skipping rope
It burns a frick-ton of calories if you are doing an appropriate amount of time n work, so yes

No because you can’t get more than 5 jumps without tripping over the rope
jumplet detected
keep at it OP it's good and good for you
It's fine
I do 4 minutes of skipping per week

no exercise is good if you skip it

this is why im reluctant to jump rope. have you tried using knee sleeves or something like that?

how to get Bateman phyzique? (already have an offer lined up at BB in M&A and a good skincare routine)
Believe in taking care of yourself
Yeah
Just slow jogging around your home can increase your heart rate and help you lose body fat (my case).
Jumping rope is even more effective

that's pretty impressive. how did you work your way up to that intensity? how long could you go when you first started?
Could do a few minutes when I first started and couldn’t do more than 30 seconds straight. Eventually worked up to 5 min, then 10.
