I jump rope regularly and have a warmup routine that I do before training/competing of any kind that involves various jumping jack modifications adding up to 200 jumps by the time it’s done.
Rebounding is claimed to be better and more effective than running and most other forms of cardio.... It's just jumping without a rope! So add the rope and achieve more. Great article, you have inspired me and I'm in my 60's.
Totally agree! From experience, I would recommend anyone just starting out to get a relatively inexpensive mat/pad off Amazon to jump on. Shin splints can be an issue that sidetracks your jump rope journey prematurely.
I started the use of the jump ropes when I learned about the 10 minutes equivalent to 30 minutes of jogging as a result of moving to a cold state and it making it hard to go out plus helping on the sprint. Everything else listed here is a plus I didn’t know but makes sense.

Underrated piece of tech - especially for grapplers

Yes!
Even if you are doing with shoes on?

I used to skip rope a lot when I was younger. There’s nothing like it, except maybe sprints.
I started skipping rope again four weeks ago. I have improved my endurance significantly.
This is an exercise that I will continue to do until I can’t anymore.
Great informative article. I'm training to dunk a basketball and will definitely add this to my training.
Isn’t there also a connection between jumping and lymphatic drainage?
Yes.
That’s why half the girls in my neighborhood grew up to be assassins
Just bought a jumprope
Good chap
I'm like 330 right now. I don't think my joints can handle it.
