A great myth surrounding the construction of the body is that there is no need to do cardiovascular exercises. For me, like many others, the key to have good, intense, is the variety of cardio sessions and be able to participate in an exercise that is enjoyable while giving and burning sense of accomplishment when you’re done. It has never been one who has a lot of tapes, course, or elliptical machines. I used to float around the machine and the stair climber, rowing, but with time, those who are too old and grew stagnant. It was not long before my search for the financial year has been more perfect, and began to jump rope. Three years and several hours later, I felt like it would be advantageous if several people share the secrets of how to learn to jump, hold jump intensity and dominate for long periods of time.

Before you dive into the details of last year, it is important to get a quality that meets the length of the string (the address must be in the package). I prefer the speed of cable, plastic, leather and avoid strings. Weighted cables increase the intensity of their meetings, but are not recommended for beginners. That said, let the fun stuff.

First, a skipping rope is great exercise and works the whole body. Many of the early learning difficulties, which almost burned his body in places that did not even know existed. Taking things slowly is the key to building your resistance … you will not be able to move the rope for 30-45 minutes at a time. Start with one session of 10 minutes and forces you to the end of 10 minutes. Gradually add the time to improve.

Why force you to complete? Well, apart from the burning, your patience will be tested and probably very frustrated. Do not worry if everyone has to start somewhere and learning takes time. If you’re concerned about the lack of coordination on how you look, you find an isolated area in the gym or in your garden (by car or garage high ceilings and working). Some gyms and you can not jump on the wood floors of rope (eg, basketball), it is best to ask staff a place to exercise.

With his temperament under control, and found a good location, you can start jumping like no tomorrow. Start with feet together and trying to learn to find a rhythm of learning, while their bodies are coordinated to this set of movements. Go slowly. Whether you are tired, but that is why I wanted to jump rope in the first place, right?

Once you have mastered, or at least hope, with the basic moves in the hope of treating a foot and alternation. The key to not be bored evolving. Substitute not modes, speed, height, etc. .. After a few weeks, you will be changing things without even thinking. Music can also help. Find music with a good pace and try to keep pace. Each song has a different pace and the variety can give you the psychological advantage to break the thirty minute mark.

If you are really ambitious, there are other “movements” can be treated. These include cross-over (crossing his arms over his chest, while his rhymes do not break – all the more difficult to try to keep their arms crossed and jump on several occasions in the circle that you created, before returning to its original position), the dual (jumping rope twice under a jump), and more difficult the movement of the foot.

Over time you fall in love with this exercise. There are many advantages implicit jump rope, not to mention that you can do anywhere at any time (a rope slides easily into luggage and can help you stay fit to travel by road). In addition to being a good way to burn fat, you will see the benefits in other parts of your life and improving your vertical jump (wetting hello!) An increase of resistance in other activities. Enjoy the exercises!
