Transcripts
people think jump rope is a recess toy
but if that's true why do top boxers and
pro athletes spend so much time using it
and perfecting their skill I've been
using and teaching jump rope for over 15
years and as a former athlete I can tell
you this is the one piece of equipment I
could never go without because it
completely transforms your Fitness and
life in this video I'm covering 10
amazing benefits that no other exercise
can compete with let's go with a lot of
cardio equipment like treadmills and
stationary bikes you can do it with very
little skill or thought which isn't
necessarily always a bad thing but if
you can read a book and have a text
conversation during your workout are you
really going to improve your Fitness
these pieces of equipment allow for
dwelling on your day to enter your mind
stressing you out all over again this
steals your mental piece as well as your
intensity from your workouts jump rope
on the other hand is amazing for your
mind because it has the ability to clear
your mind yes at first you have to focus
on learning how to jump rope but once
you get the basics down it becomes a
therapeutic flow the craziness of your
day is blotted out by the joy of flowing
to your favorite song and getting your
sweat on letting out your excess energy
and frustrations I've had people tell me
that it's helped with addictions
depression and anxiety while I can't
scientifically prove all that I can say
I always feel better after a jump rope
session jump rope is an amazing calorie
burner here's how it Stacks up against
some of the top exercises as you can see
you can burn more calories and less time
with jump rope making it a very
efficient time-saving workout my average
jump rope workout is between 15 and 30
minutes this makes it a great option for
busy people and the reason it's so good
is because it's not just cardio jump
rope works a lot of muscles people don't
think about the most obvious is calves
and if you've jump roped at all you know
how much your calves and your shoulders
start burning this alone is great but
let's talk about the less obvious
muscles worked it also works your chest
and back muscles as your rope rotates
you have to stabilize your arms from
moving back and forth which involves
your latissimus dorsai muscles other
back muscles and chest muscles this can
be intensified by doing Crossing skills
and side swings which push and pull the
AR arms across your body you can see how
much more these muscles are activated
when doing these skills but we're not
done even with basic jumping you have to
engage your core to stay balanced but
you can Engage The Core even more as you
begin to learn different side to side
and front to back movements this can be
done at a basic level all the way
through advanced as you grow your skills
now let's talk legs as I already stated
calves are highly involved through
jumping but let's see how you can
involve the upper legs or quads and
hamstrings basic jumping doesn't involve
the upper legs that much other than
stabilization and holding the weight of
your body because your legs shouldn't be
flexing much at the knees but you can
drastically increase the work of your
legs by learning skills like jump lunges
and squat jumps these types of skills
are not only taxing for the lower body
but also incorporate side swings to
involve the upper body quickly making it
a full body burner another easy way to
increase full body muscle engagement is
by using a heavy jump rope of one lb or
more it doesn't sound like much but it
is very challenging due to the pull of
the Rope as it's swinging around your
body greatly increasing the need to
stabilize muscle groups and the power
needed to move the rope jump rope a full
body torture check now let's talk about
the best athletic benefits if you need
the most awesome jump rope known to man
I have my favorite linked
below a lot of people think they can't
jump rope because they aren't
coordinated enough but coordination is
actually a learn skill we all have
different starting points and jump rope
is a great tool for developing hand eye
and foot coordination you build this
through learning timing different
rhythms and various skills so don't be
intimidated but embrace your current
coordination level and watch it grow by
using this amazing tool I love this next
benefit because it keeps me ready for
every sport Hobby and pretty much
anything life can throw at me jump rope
is a fantastic endurance workout I don't
do any other kind of consistent cardio
exercises other than jump rope but
whenever I jump in a game of basketball
beach volleyball or these days go on a
hard mountain bike ride I'm always
shocked how good my endurance is I feel
like I can go for a long time and even
when I do get tired I recover quickly
and can jump right back in and this is
all just from 15 to 30 minute workouts
this benefit is essential for building
foot speed and quickness it will help
you stop and change directions faster
and will make you a better allaround
athlete in order to jump rope fast you
have to be able to get on and off the
ground quickly but this doesn't just
build speed and quickness it will also
develop agility when paired with the
right skills moving side to side and
front to back you will become a force to
be reckoned with another benefit that
comes with speed is reaction time as you
move the Rope faster and faster you will
learn to to change timing avoid trips
and adjust your jump height on the fly
so you can continue performing at the
highest level possible jump rope is also
great for building bone density in order
to build muscle you have to stress the
muscle you have causing it to build back
better and stronger the same thing
happens through the repetitive light
impact of jump rope it stresses your
bones causing them to build up strength
against impact this is why you need to
gradually build up how long you jump
rope when you're starting out because
the the biggest threat of injury is
overuse injuries however these are easy
to reduce by starting out with a plan
now this benefit is what makes jumping
Uniquely Yours it allows for creativity
freestyles are made up of various skills
put together in different patterns and
everyone is going to do it differently
nobody jump ropes just like someone else
we will all take the same skills and
perform them in slightly different way
adding in your own flare one example is
my side swings they are my favorite
skill and I've had people message me
over and over stating how I do them
differently than others I can't say that
I can explain it other than I've learned
to do them very quickly through
thousands of repetitions it has become
what it is mine everyone will have their
own version of this and it makes for
unending learning and progression which
keeps you excited and coming back for
more now these last two benefits are why
I think jump rope is the MVP and one of
the best kept secrets and fitness jump
rope is the most portable piece of
equipment that can offer all the
benefits that you've heard about you can
do it inside or outside you can easily
take it on vacation without it taking up
too much space and you get the same
amazing workout no matter where you're
at but often with a better view it also
pairs well with many other exercises and
has the ability to get you in the best
shape of your life and this benefit may
be a bit of a cliche but it's true it's
what has kept me using it almost daily
for 15 years and it's because jump rope
is fun after all it was something most
of us did as a kid and tends to bring
out a youthful joy I love Fitness but
jump rope is the one exercise I never
dread even when I'm tired and don't feel
like working out I'll give it 5 minutes
to just get some movement in but it
almost always turns into a 15 to 30
minute workout and when you add in all
the benefits we went over it's a brainer
to add to your routine but there's only
one problem you need to learn how to
jump rope the right way in order to
enjoy these benefits quickly cuz if you
don't you'll struggle and deal with a
lot of trips and frustrations but I did
all that so you don't have to I show you
exactly what you need to know to make
Learning Easy in this video right here
