Jump Rope Workouts: What Might the Neighbors Think?

Did you know? Exercising your lower and upper body while jump-roping, can help you burn an incredible amount of body fat. Ten minutes of jump rope exercise can burn up to 100 calories.

Would you do it? Yes, childhood might be just a glimmer from the past, but I’ll bet you still know how to do your jump roping. The more pressing question is where to find enough space to do this cardio fitness workout.

Here a couple of ideas (yes obvious):

Jump rope with your kids – they might show you some new moves

Don’t be shy and use your front, back porch or yard

Use the neighborhood playground

Take advantage of the empty school yard, after hours

Invite your friends for rope jumping in the park

Or empty parking lot

Purchase a rope-less jumping rope for your living room

Purchase a Gym Membership

And don’t forget to take your favorite music along

So what are you waiting for? Do as I do. Put on a good pair of tennis shoes, plug in your MP3 player, and don’t worry what the neighbors think.

Note: Always listen to your body, start off slowly. Protect your joints by implementing good body posture and stop before it starts hurting.
