Jumping Rope Tips
I have to admit, jumping rope in the normal way will only bring a small amount of benefit. If you really want to start using this exercise seriously (like a boxer) you must start doing "two overs" whereby each time you jump the rope passes under your feet twice. This requires amazing strength, endurance and coordination and will take much practice.
Also, you should not jump rope like a primary school child using both feet at once. Each revolution of the rope should be a relaxed and flowing one and your feet should be taking turns; bouncing on the left, then the right, then the left again, etc.
Muhammad Ali's Training Routine
If you want to see how a professional jumps rope I highly recommend watching Muhammad Ali jumping rope when he was training for the famous fight against George Foreman known as the Rumble in the Jungle. This has footage of Foreman and Ali training and warming up and there is one scene where Ali jumps rope while the press talks to him. It is very inspiring!
How to?
When you are jumping rope it is best to go as fast as you can. Try and build up each time until you are doing sessions of 10, 20 or 30 minutes at a time.
Rope Jumping for Fat Loss
As always, to maximize the fat loss benefits you should rope jump before breakfast. This allows the energy to come from fat instead of food.
If fat loss is your main goal, try to slow it down a little bit and go for at least 30 minutes, three times a week.
