Jump Rope = Killer Workout










Hello readers, its been a minute once again. Just trying to survive this college life. But I'm here now so let's get down to business. I'm always looking for different workouts to try to lose weight and tighten up. And I have found THE ONE!!!!! So simple, yet so very effective. The Jump Rope. Now, you may say to yourself: "Vaughn you're a 250 pound dude, why are you using a jump rope"? Well I'm here to tell ya, that the jump rope is one of the best workouts I have ever done thus far. It works everything: Arms, shoulders, legs, core muscles, you name it, the jump rope will make you feel it. It's a sweaty, brutal, and killer workout. Did you know, that ten minutes of jump rope is the equivalent of jogging a mile? Or that 15-20 minutes of jumping rope can burn the calories from a candy bar? If you're a snacker like me, this is very VERY good. Boxers and wrestlers use this workout method when they're in training. This past week, I did a jump rope workout. When I did 10 jumps, I would do 10 push-ups. Then it was 20 jumps, then 20 push-ups. I got all the way to 50 jumps and 50 push-ups. My shirt was drenched with sweat, it was a nasty sight to see. But like I said, jump rope is a killer workout for anyone to try and I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!!!
