the jump rope has long been a favored
00:00:07
training tool by Fighters and athletes
00:00:09
for its incredible conditioning and body
00:00:10
transforming abilities boxing Legend and
00:00:13
four Division World Champion Roberto
00:00:15
Duran was known to Bloon up to 200 lb
00:00:17
between fights by indulging in a
00:00:19
lifestyle that was previously
00:00:20
unavailable to him growing up as a poor
00:00:22
youth in
00:00:23
Panama utilizing a strenuous diet and
00:00:26
exercise routine he often had to lose as
00:00:28
much as 50 lbs or more during training
00:00:30
Camp by his own accounts he relied
00:00:32
heavily on jump rope as he found it the
00:00:34
most enjoyable way to exercise his jump
00:00:36
roping skills became highly impressive
00:00:38
often utilizing a squat jump technique
00:00:41
also favored later by Mike Tyson
00:00:43
increasing difficulty and calorie
00:00:45
expenditure jump rope has also been
00:00:47
sought out for its ability to create a
00:00:49
springy lightness on the feet that is
00:00:51
often the Hallmark of a skilled athlete
00:00:53
watch any jump roping video of former
00:00:54
unified World Boxing Champion Brian
00:00:56
valoria and you will see the remarkable
00:00:58
athletic effects a longtime jump rope
00:01:00
practice can
00:01:03
have like any skill skipping rope can be
00:01:06
difficult at first but once you have the
00:01:07
basics down it becomes a playful form of
00:01:09
exercise it creates an outlet for
00:01:11
creativity and the focus it requires
00:01:14
takes the Mind away from the stresses
00:01:15
and worries of daily life enticing you
00:01:18
to be present in the moment and making
00:01:19
jump rope an often addictive form of
00:01:22
exercise it's also great at burning
00:01:24
calories and has a similar calorie
00:01:26
expenditure to running although you can
00:01:28
increase this rate by adding more
00:01:29
difficult skills or by using a weighted
00:01:31
jump rope however where it really stands
00:01:34
out is its effects on the cardiovascular
00:01:36
system a 2013 Arizona State University
00:01:39
study found that the aerobic fitness
00:01:41
gained in 10 minutes of jump roping per
00:01:43
day was equivalent to the same effects
00:01:45
seen in 30 minutes of running per
00:01:48
day jumping rope has also been shown to
00:01:50
be great at increasing bone density
00:01:52
ideal for contact athletes who risk
00:01:54
injury and older adults who may
00:01:55
otherwise face declining bone density it
00:01:58
can also be a powerful immune system
00:02:00
booster helping to drain the lymphatic
00:02:02
system as the up and down movement of
00:02:03
jumping helps to open lymphatic valves
00:02:06
and create flow through the lymphatic
00:02:08
system in terms of athletic enhancement
00:02:11
jump rope is known for its ability to
00:02:13
improve explosiveness in the lower legs
00:02:14
ankles and feet leading to enhanced
00:02:17
agility quickness and explosive stamina
00:02:19
a trait that is necessary for high
00:02:21
performance in most athletic activities
00:02:23
it's also a capable builder of shoulder
00:02:25
stamina another reason why it seen as
00:02:27
ideal for boxers and martial artist an
00:02:30
often overlooked aspect of jump rope
00:02:31
training is the increase in full body
00:02:33
coordination the swing of a jump rope
00:02:36
must be precisely timed with the jump
00:02:38
and this must be done repeatedly and
00:02:40
rhythmically requiring hands and arms to
00:02:42
coordinate precisely with the legs feet
00:02:44
and breath and because of the length of
00:02:46
the Rope one must also develop good
00:02:48
spatial awareness as the Rope will hit
00:02:51
anything that comes within a few meters
00:02:52
of the front or back of the
00:02:55
body getting started skipping rope is
00:02:57
pretty simple all you really require is
00:02:59
a jump rope there are many kinds of jump
00:03:01
ropes and some are better than others
00:03:03
depending on your stage of development
00:03:04
and your particular goals for beginners
00:03:07
the most common jump ropes are known as
00:03:09
licorice ropes this is any rope made of
00:03:12
a nylon or vinyl plastic cord the better
00:03:14
versions will have some weight to the
00:03:16
handles and a ball bearing to allow
00:03:17
smoother rotation these are durable and
00:03:20
often cheap ropes that can get up to
00:03:21
medium speeds with a good ball bearing
00:03:23
and are in general a good pick for
00:03:25
beginners and intermediate alike leather
00:03:27
ropes have an iconic old school look and
00:03:30
have about the same basic performance as
00:03:31
a licorice rope however they can wear
00:03:33
out a little quicker without protective
00:03:36
oils beaded ropes are another great
00:03:38
option for beginners they add a little
00:03:40
extra weight to the Rope so you can get
00:03:42
a good workout while also feeling the
00:03:44
swing of the Rope even better the beads
00:03:46
also make a sound every time they hit
00:03:47
the ground helping you to develop that
00:03:49
initial
00:03:50
Rhythm however if you want to take your
00:03:52
jump roping skills further by reaching
00:03:54
faster jump speeds or performing some of
00:03:56
the more difficult skills you will
00:03:58
eventually need a speed rope
00:04:00
this is usually made from denser faster
00:04:02
materials utilizing a quality ball
00:04:04
bearing the Rope usually comes out of
00:04:05
the handles horizontally reducing
00:04:07
friction on the handles increasing speed
00:04:09
and making length adjustments easier you
00:04:12
can also increase calorie expenditure
00:04:13
and stamina development by getting a
00:04:15
weighted jump rope the weight can either
00:04:17
be in the handles which will work the
00:04:19
forearms and shoulders harder or the
00:04:20
weight can be in the Rope itself which
00:04:22
switches a lot of the work into the
00:04:23
shoulders chest and upper back and for
00:04:26
those who have to jump indoors without
00:04:28
adequate space there are rope ropeless
00:04:30
jump ropes available that still give you
00:04:31
a great
00:04:34
workout the length of the Rope is
00:04:36
something you'll have to adjust over
00:04:37
time as more experienced jump Ropers
00:04:39
often shorten the Rope as they no longer
00:04:41
need the extra clearance below their
00:04:43
feet however as a general rule of thumb
00:04:45
those between 5 ft and 5' 4 in will use
00:04:48
an 8T rope those between 5' 5 in and 5T
00:04:52
11 in will need a 9t rope and those over
00:04:55
6 ft will need a 10t rope though it's
00:04:58
always best to go a little longer if
00:04:59
you're on the upper edge of one of these
00:05:00
categories as you can always cut away
00:05:02
some of the Rope if needed if you are
00:05:05
brand new to jump rope your ankles
00:05:06
calves and feet will often need a month
00:05:08
or two to adapt to the demands before
00:05:10
you can really start getting intensive
00:05:11
workouts in start out with an easily
00:05:14
manageable number of jumps per day and
00:05:16
add to it each week as your feet and
00:05:18
ankles can handle it after this initial
00:05:20
adaptation period you can really cut
00:05:22
loose and dive into a full blown jump
00:05:24
rope
00:05:25
program the fundamental skill you'll
00:05:27
initially need to learn is the basic
00:05:28
two- foot jump where you land and jump
00:05:30
off the balls of both feet
00:05:31
simultaneously and seek to only jump
00:05:33
high enough to just clear the Rope
00:05:36
though if you're wanting to get serious
00:05:37
about jump roping you will eventually
00:05:39
need to learn the boxer skip as it
00:05:41
allows a more free flowing and efficient
00:05:42
jump pattern this will assist you more
00:05:44
during long sessions or when you're
00:05:46
attempting Advanced skills in both cases
00:05:49
seek to keep the arms close to the body
00:05:51
and the hands around waist level in
00:05:52
order to create a smooth more natural
00:05:54
feeling
00:05:56
swing if you're interested in really
00:05:58
developing your jump roping skills
00:05:59
skills and capacity through a structured
00:06:01
program you can check out the mover's
00:06:03

you're in need of a good rope I've
00:06:21
attached links below to some quality

ropes which I can personally attest to
00:06:25
both affordable one a speed rope and the
00:06:27
other a licorice rope there's also a
00:06:29
link to the cross rope system who sent
00:06:31
me out a sample of their jump rope with
00:06:32
interchangeable ropes of different
00:06:33
weights it's honestly the best jump rope
00:06:36
I've ever used and I love the
00:06:37
interchangeability of the ropes however
00:06:39
it is expensive so it's not going to be
00:06:41
for everyone but if you are interested
00:06:43
in a rope system like this they did give
00:06:44
me a 15% discount code from our viewers
00:06:47
