All You Have to Do is JUMP to Get Fit!


This past weekend, I bought jump rope from Target ($3). Why? What can a piece of rope do to get you fit? Here's why!

-You can burn tons of calories in a short amount of time.
- 10 minutes of vigorous jumping can havethe same benefits as a 30-minute jog.
-A great way to improve balance, coordination, and increase your endurance.\
-You can find your abs (don't kill yourself doing a bunch of crunches, when you need to burn the fat off first!)

With the nice weather finally coming out, I'm ready to jump back into my outside workouts! I know you remember jumping rope when you were just a kid! Now find your inner child, borrow that jump rope from your little sister, cousin, whoever, and jump away!

If jumping rope sounds boring, try a few of these workouts to keep it fun!

I enjoy jumping rope as a part of my workout routine. It is a delightful change from my normal running or elliptical.
