7 reasons why jumping is the best workout
01/11/2021 by Julian Fuchs
Are you looking for a workout that challenges your body, but can still be easily integrated into your everyday life and will send your fitness level through the roof? Then skipping rope is probably just the thing for you. Today we'll tell you 7 good reasons why a skipping rope workout is worth it for you.
1. You don't need any previous knowledge to jump rope
Jump rope sport is also so popular because you don't need any previous knowledge. Of course, if you are more experienced, you can learn different techniques to make your training even more varied. The Easy Jump, i.e. simply jumping on the spot, can become a step jump, in which you alternately move your feet forward and back with each jump. However, to get started it is enough if you pay attention to the following:
- Wear sturdy shoes, ideally with a high shaft so that you don't twist your ankle.
- Before training, warm up your arm joints and ankles by circling them.
- Jump on a surface that is bouncy, such as grass or carpet.
2. The fitness skipping rope is suitable for (almost) everyone
Because burning fat with skipping rope is just as possible as endurance training, the sport appeals to many. Do you want to train your fitness, lose extra pounds or build muscles? All of this is possible with rope skipping. There are only a few restrictions. If you suffer from signs of wear and tear or persistent inflammation in the musculoskeletal system, we advise you to discuss with your doctor beforehand whether jumping rope is the right form of exercise for you.
Good to know!
Regular exercise is important to nourish joint cartilage. After all, it is not directly connected to the blood vessel system. Instead, like a sponge, it absorbs nutrients with every movement.
3. Jumping rope is varied
When you train with the skipping rope, you have the opportunity to combine many step sequences with each other. At the end, you put together your very own workout that you can do however you like. You'll be surprised at how many different exercises you can do within a limited radius - you definitely won't get bored while jumping rope.
4. Your adult jump rope is effective
Are you tired of walking many kilometers and still only burning the calories of a small chocolate bar? The good news: Jumping rope is much more effective than other sports. This can be seen, for example, in the topic of skipping rope vs. jogging. Jogging burns around 350 calories in 30 minutes, while cardio jump rope burns 500 calories. Your skipping rope can not only help you melt off the pounds, it can also help you improve your fitness or build muscle. Because many muscle groups are targeted when jumping, the training is particularly effective.
5. You can train anywhere you like
Hand on heart: The biggest problem with training programs is that they are difficult to integrate into a hectic everyday life. Maybe you don't have much time and that's why you can't make it to the gym regularly. Theoretically, you can train with a skipping rope anywhere, as long as you have enough space in front, back and above. In the garden, in the living room or in the forest - there are no limits to your creativity. Are you on a business trip? No problem, the skipping rope can be stored in your suitcase to save space and accompany you. If you are particularly short on time on some days, just 10 minutes can be enough to burn more than 160 calories and get your muscles going. From now on there are no more excuses for skipping training sessions.
6. When jumping rope you train your body and mind
If you jump rope regularly, you train your entire body. After just a few weeks of training, you will last longer and your muscles will appear more defined. But things aren't just happening on the outside. Since rope skipping tests your ability to concentrate and your reflexes, jumping rope is always a cognitive challenge. At the same time, training can strengthen your physical and psychological well-being. After all, studies continue to show that exercise reduces stress and minimizes cardiovascular risk factors.
7. You will be more successful by jumping rope
What initially sounds like a crude advertising promise actually has a true background. Training with a HIIT skipping rope directly addresses your jumping power and speed. In the long term, not only rope jumping exercises, but also other disciplines benefit from this. Are you interested in martial arts or acrobatic training sessions? You may be more successful at both if you are motivated to train with the rope. The joy of exercise and the reduction of stress hormones such as cortisol also promote well-being and performance for many people.
