Pick Up the Jump Rope

Joseph Coupal - Monday, September 19, 2011

By Heather Hawk

When was the last time you jumped rope?

This fun activity is an effective way to burn 10 calories a minute (or more) and boost your endurance. Jumping rope continuously for just 10 minutes a day can burn the same calories as 30 minutes of jogging or 2 sets of tennis. You can also add a few minutes of jumping rope between sets of strength exercises for a great circuit workout.

In addition to challenging your heart, jumping rope helps to improve your balance, coordination, bone density, and muscle endurance.

Jump ropes are also compact, great for travel, and can be used indoors or out!
