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.
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.
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.
Excellent thanks. Never considered a skip rope before but will include it in my routine immediately. Also do you have any opinions on skip jumping? I mean that type of movement most of us haven't made since elementary school? It looks rather silly but I find it fun and more explosive than traditional jogging.

This post has made me want to jump more…
Underrated piece of tech - especially for grapplers
Write about flow!

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.
This is gold, adding more jump rope to my routine

Love to hear it
Roberto Duran, master rope skipper.
It honestly changed my life!
Great informative article. I'm training to dunk a basketball and will definitely add this to my training.
Lethal, lethal, lethal. I will start immediately
Isn’t there also a connection between jumping and lymphatic drainage?
Yes.
Just bought a jumprope
Good chap
I had good success with US Army Ranger School, the sniper course, et al, and you know, war, but hmmm, skipping rope, whatever works for you airborne.
A great share, thank you. Whenever I see someone jumping rope at the gym, they always look next level…and tired.
I love skipping but how the FUCK is it 3 times is much cardio as running? Its 3 times easier as well!
