Improves Bone Strength

Jumping rope requires that you put weight on your bones which is a great way to improve your bone health. For young people, jumping rope helps the development of the bones. When we are older, we need to do more weight-bearing exercises to decrease the chance of osteoporosis. It also prevents injury—the stronger the bones, the harder they are to break.

Improves Cardiovascular Health

Jumping rope is higher in intensity than some other forms of cardio such as walking or cycling, and is really good for your heart and lungs. You don’t need to spend hours on the cardio machine to feel good. Just take your trusted jump rope and do interval training or HIIT for 10 minutes to reap the benefits.

Improves your Balance and Coordination

If you start slow and keep a manageable pace, you will see your coordination improve. Your balance will also get better as you do most of the movement on your toes, so you need to engage the core every time you jump.

Do It Anywhere

You don’t need a gym or lots of equipment—all you need a jump rope and space. Most jump ropes are lightweight so you can put it into a small bag and take it to a park or on vacation with you.

The post 4 Reasons to Incorporate Jump Rope Into Your Weekly Cardio Routine appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.

Exercise Bands

Exercise bands are one of the most effective methods of building muscle without machines and weights. The principle is the same, but you can use them anywhere you like.

Skipping

A supremely satisfying way to work out your core, as well as your balance and cardio, skipping won’t let you down.

Hula Hooping

Hula hooping is such a great workout for just about anyone. It improves balance, strengthens the core, and impresses your friends as well!

Bodyweight Exercises

Perhaps the best way to workout without machines, bodyweight exercises are the way nature intended us to work out. A combination of press-ups, sit-ups, planks, and chin-ups will have you just where you want to be.

Strengthens the Core

Skipping is an excellent way to strengthen the core foundational muscles—it strengthens the abdominal muscles, the back muscles, and the shoulders.

Improves Balance

As well as strengthening the core, skipping also improves balance. As you are jumping over the rope, you need to use your core to stay upright and to land comfortably.

Enhances Coordination

Skipping also vastly improves your hand-eye coordination and your sense of space. By working up that internal rhythm of hopping over the rope, you learn how your body works and your body learns how to respond to you.

Strengthens the Legs

Skipping is also one of the best ways to strengthen the legs. It works the whole leg organically, from calf to quads.

Ease of Availability

And finally, the wonderful thing about skipping is that you can do it almost anywhere for free! You don’t need to go to the gym or stay tied to a machine. You can exercise at home, in the great outdoors, or while traveling.
