12-Minute Jump Rope Workout: Skip off the Calories
We are all looking for those quick, effective, intense workouts that burn a ton of calories and fat in a short amount of time, right? While we all have busy schedules and an agenda, it’s vital that we make time for our health and well-being; working out being a major component of this. When you work out at a high intensity and really push your limits, you don’t have to spend hours at the gym working out. YAY, right?
So today, I have a jump rope workout for you that requires nothing more than yourself and, you guessed it, a jump rope.
I’m going to be real with you: Jumping rope is not super easy and it might take you a few times to get the hang of it. Don’t let that discourage you because a jump rope is an amazing piece of equipment. Keep practicing! You can keep it in your car, in your purse, in your desk at work and whip it out whenever you have a few minutes to get your heart rate up. If you don’t have a jump rope, I highly suggest that you get one. But if not, you can still do this jump rope workout just by mimicking the movement without the jump rope.
This is an interval training workout with a mix of jump rope and bodyweight exercises. So, you will need a timer, that way you don’t have to worry about staring at a clock, phone or finding someone to time you.
Here’s how you will set your timer:
Preparation: 30 seconds
Workout: 50 seconds
Rest: 10 seconds
Sets: 1
Reps: 12
