Rope Skipping Program: A 30-Day Challenge to Lose Pounds
Work out your cardio, build your abs, tone your legs... This rope skipping program, accessible to everyone, allows you to slim your silhouette, from head to toe!
Benefits of skipping rope
Rope jumping is a complete physical exercise. This playful movement makes it possible to work on the core, thus strengthening the core, but also to improve the silhouette.
By working many muscles from head to toe, jumping rope helps burn calories: we tone the leg muscles, work the arms, strengthen the shoulders, tone the abdominals for a flat stomach and touch the butt.
As a bonus, by regularly jumping with a skipping rope, you can improve your posture by strengthening your back muscles and working on your balance.
How do you choose your jump rope?
In the sports store there are many types of jump ropes. But then, how do you choose the right jump rope? Those made of cotton and nylon are ideal for beginners: they are lighter, spin less quickly around you and are less heavy on the arms.
Vinyl or steel ropes are heavier and therefore more suitable for athletes who want to go further.
As for the leather jump ropes, they can be used by female athletes of all levels who want to buy something nice for their gym sessions.
How do you jump rope well?
Jumping rope can seem so simple, even kids jump rope!
But for this movement to be effective, adopting the correct posture is important.
Invest in a good pair of athletic trainers, with cushioning, to avoid shocks when jumping
Make sure to maintain good posture throughout the exercise: back straight, looking in front of you, hands at hip height, legs slightly bent
Stand on tiptoe when jumping, and remember that the idea is not to jump as high as possible
Rope jumping program to increase my endurance
With this Sports Challenge, which is accessible to everyone, and which must be done over the course of 30 days, you will be able to see the results on your figure. The idea is to improve your stamina little by little, to be able at the end of the program to jump rope for 5 minutes ... without stopping!
After that, it is best to jump rope as often as possible (daily if possible!) for several minutes.
