Cardio - Jump Into It

When you just don't have time for a long cardio session, revert back to those childhood years of double dutch. Jumping rope has been around for hundreds of years and has proven track record of providing many health benefits. Jumping rope not only tones the entire body by developing long, lean muscles in all major muscle groups, but it also optimizes cardiovascular conditioning and maximizes athletic skills by combining agility, coordination, timing, and endurance.

Jumping rope is an amazing tool for burning calories when you are short on time. On average, jumping rope burns 11 calories per minute but the higher and faster you jump it can reach the limit to about 20 calories per minute. So, in just 15 minutes of exercise you can burn at least 165 calories! Not to mention, jumping rope is portable, inexpensive, easy to learn and a perfect activity that can be done with the kids too.
