So what is this forgotten training tool your asking? It's called the jump rope.
People seem to neglect this tool BIG time in their training.
People really don't want to look foolish using this wonderful training tool.
Jumping rope takes coordination to use.
Many people lack seem to lack coordination.
I say if you can't, you must! That's the great benefit of using this tool.
Your conditioning improves, you burn lots of fat, and your coordination improves like never before.
Here is a sample jump rope workout you can use to get started.
Getting Started You can start out using one or two minute rounds.
This will all depend on your current condition.
If your out of shape, start with one minute rounds.
If you are semi fit, use two minute rounds.
Rest one minute between rounds.
Try performing 2-4 rounds.
Again, this all depends on your current condition.
While you're jumping rope, you want to jump close to the ground.
Jumping to high will beat up your joints.
Just stay relaxed and build a nice rhythm.
Mixing it up You can mix up the workout by shuffling your feet while jumping.
Just shuffle your feet front to back while jumping.
Be patient, as this takes a lot of coordination to do.
Putting it to use If you can stick with the above guidelines, I guarantee that you will see your waist line shrink.
You will gain confidence, along with improved coordination.
Try getting this from a stationary bike! I can't emphasize enough, on how much of a no-brainer workout this is! Along with the low cost of the jump rope, it takes little space to perform.
This is even more reason to go get started!
