The Amazing Benefits of Jumping Rope - The Simple Way to Get Fit!

Показать описание


In this post I'm discussing one of the simplest and easiest ways to get into better shape: skipping AKA jump rope.

This isn't something I'm particularly good at, btw! But I've recently started skipping more and I've been loving it.

See, skipping is one of the most convenient and efficient ways to burn calories, get the blood pumping, and boost your energy. You can do little ten minute stints of skipping wherever you are and that's going to add up, fast!

But the great thing is that skipping does much more than just burning calories.

Skipping can also: improve your sense of rhythm and timing, increase your ankle stiffness, train the brain, keep you lighter on your feet, and increase bone density. What really makes this so valuable, is that this is a way to get some *jumping* into your routine.

Jumping is what I would consider a "fundamental human movement." We don't have much reason to jump outside of sports, anymore, so why not get yourself a jump rope?

What do you guys think? Do you skip?

And just how bad is my skipping??

Jumping rope has really helped improve my running and it definitely burns a lot of calories. I found counting the bounces rather than the rope rotations helps me skip longer as it stops me overthinking the timing of the rope. Great video as always

Been skipping for over a decade. If I can offer some advice, don’t jump when skipping. Bounce. You should only be an inch or two above the ground when the rope passes under your feet. Also avoid skipping on concrete.

I got into skipping during lockdown and now it's my favourite way of keeping fit. The Jump Rope Dudes is a great channel and I bought myself a couple Crossrope sets after a while because of them, and I've never felt fitter.

Rush Athletics is another great channel I'd recommend if you want to include skipping into your fitness.

At the boxing in my youth, the coach made you do push-ups everytime you caught your You got good at skipping quickly and nailed the push ups as well. Still do, training people 1min on the ropes, 10 push-ups, for 10 mins, it fairly mounts up!

I got hooked on skipping from muay thai. At the start I'd gas out or get a leg cramp after a few minutes but now i can go for 10+ minutes. I haven't pushed it further because it takes away from other exercises.

There's also flow rope (also known as rmt), which is like a cross between skipping rope and poi spinning. Funnily enough, i picked it up out of spite after seeing an ad for a 70 euro rope.

Skipping is amazing. At the start of the pandemic I was 240 lbs and decided to get in shape. Jumping rope was the perfect cardio since I couldn't go anywhere. Started with just ten minutes and then went a little longer, and a little longer until I was doing an hour a day, 5 days a week and after 8 months I had lost 69 lbs. I'm doing more calisthenics and resistance/weight training now but still try to incorporate skipping as much as possible

A few years ago me and my work mates were doing a 10 press ups, 10 squats on the hour challenge. It doesn’t sound a lot but the hours soon fly by and next thing you know you’ve done 80-100 (depending on shift length) I definitely noticed a difference in my body and I think I’ll start it again.

I used to skip every time before weight training as a means to warm up and get the blood flowing, I haven't done this in months now, and now due to this video I think I will bring it back into my warm up routine. Thanks for the insightful information about what many consider an activity for children lol

For those on the fence : skipping is very joint friendly and helps you get your shins in shape to switch to a front foot strike when running (and end your back pain and joints aches). enjoy!

This channel is stupidly good. Another brilliant video. One of the few fitness channels that's informative and enjoyable at the same time.

Love this video! I am advanced skipper, have been using my buddylee or doperopes(check online) ones for new years now and have to say I dont go workout without having one or in my bag lol. My knee pains that I used to have from years of playing football and other injuries they just disapeared. Im much more agile and stamina is good. I use rope in between pull ups or push/handstand sets as a form of relaxing or resting and its great.
Yeah its not easy in the begining and takes month to learn basics and tricks and to relax muscles body instead of being tense, but its so worth it.
Sad to see jump ropes are so underrated. At the gym where I used to workout I was the only one to skip. All other ppl on treadmills walking some jogging with phones in hand...same outdoors by the beach in the only one to skip but when people see what I can do and how fast they are all mesmerized and its funny lol
I myself prefer one with longer handles and cable rope or 2+mm thicker if plasticy which help in windy conditions.
All the best Bioneer you are cool.

Love all your videos, especially the Batman stuff. I would love a Batman training video for older guys. Sort of a Dark Knight returns workout.

Hey Adam, I heard something similar to what you said about bone density. In college my tutor told me about a study done on elderly people where they had them hop to improve bone density and stop osteoporosis. It worked for them.

Also skipping is one of the best ways to ramp up, if you're out of shape and want to go running. The landing mechanics look a whole lot like mid-foot strike while running, but the steps are usually very small and you're absorbing the impact with both feet rather than one
