Don’t SKIP this one!

Be a kid again!
Remember how much FUN you had skipping rope as a child? Well, you may want to pick it up again! It turns out jumping rope isn’t just fun. It’s GOOD for you, and it’s actually a great workout for the entire body!

Studies show that DOING ACTIVITIES THAT MADE US HAPPY WHEN WE WERE KIDS can be better for us than a standard workout. Jumping rope is practically free, can be done almost anywhere, any time, and just 15 minutes of rope-skipping does more for your body than running on a treadmill for an entire hour!

Jumping rope is a great low to medium intensity aerobic exercise, and by adding interval skipping, you'll increase the benefits, such as weight loss, even more! Interval training is associated with improved cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes. And it’s easy. Just jump 30 seconds to several minutes at high intensity, followed by 30 seconds of gentler, lower intensity jumping (not as high or fast), and repeat these intervals.
Imagine. What we thought of as a child’s game is actually a great full-body workout. While you skip to your favorite music, it tones your arms and legs, and creates core stability. It improves heart health, concentration, coordination, stamina, flexibility, and circulation, all while strengthening your bones and giving you glowing skin!

So, grab a rope and have a bottle of water at the ready. Put on some shock-absorbing socks, do a few stretches to warm up, and…
HAVE FUN!
