10 minute jump rope workout

There are so many different ways to get your cardio in. I pull out my jump rope when I don’t feel like going to the gym.

A jump rope is easy and portable. For me, it just means going outside my apartment building, setting up my phone with an interval app and adding a little music to get me through. 

Even if you don’t have much time, you can still get in an effective workout. You can be a beginner or advanced jumper. 

If you didn’t know, this is an amazing way to fit in some cardio while also getting a full-body workout. Jump roping may look like it’s all in the arms but it can take some practice to nail down the right form.

You can just jump steady or you can do an interval-style workout. An interval or HIIT workout can incorporate several different exercises to help you burn calories and keep things interesting. 

Don’t have a lot of time?

What are the other benefits of jumping rope?

Jumping rope improves your heart health

Jumping rope can increase your VO2 Max, the maximum amount of oxygen a person can utilize during exercise. The higher someone’s VO2 max, the greater their cardiovascular endurance. 

Jumping rope can decrease belly fat

HIIT exercise, like jump rope, has been linked to faster fat loss, particularly around your abs. By pulling your core tight during a jump rope exercise routine, you can target that area and start sculpting abs.

Jumping rope can improve your balance

It takes some coordination and balance to pull off a full jump rope workout. The steady cadence and rhythm of jumping rope can help improve the coordination between your eyes, feet and hands.
