Jumping rope isn't just for kids!

Good morning everyone! A little workout tip for anyone looking to add a little variety to your workouts...the jump rope. This piece of equipment you can purchase for $5 or less, if your gym doesn't already have some available, and it does wonders for you. I've recently started a new HIIT routine and I'm jumping rope between my sets (30 seconds) and let me tell you, it's a workout!

A tip on selecting the ideal length for your rope is to step one foot in the middle of the rope, the handles should come up to approximately armpit height.

So if your looking to add a little variety to your workouts with some cardio and toning benefits, I highly recommend incorporating the jump rope into your routine. Have a great day everyone!
