Some are focused on endurance while others are centered around HIIT or strength-training
When I started jumping rope for a workout, I bought myself a leather rope with weighted handles, but the rope was genuinely too long for my height, which made it tough for me, then i frequently stepped on the rope or tripped on it. The rope would often knot and tangle. I jumped so often that the rope frayed and broke. I went through two more leather ropes before I decided to upgrade. I did some research and found the Crossrope System. This plan includes 1 set of handles and several ropes of peculiar weights. There is a quarter-pound, half-pound, 1-pound and two-pound rope that is made out of a synthetic material that won’t knot or tangle. The ropes link to the handles with a metal clasp. They are absolutely simple to switch and they rotate smoothly. The better ropes have allowed me to significantly improve my skills, but since investing in the more overpriced ropes, I’ve achieved crossovers, double jumps and 1-footed jumps. I can also run with the rope, turn with it and do jumping jacks. The jump rope plan includes an app on my iPhone that provides guided workouts. I can choose from training sessions that last anywhere from several hours to an hour. They vary in intensity from beginner level to advanced. Some are focused on endurance while others are centered around HIIT or strength-training. The workouts can incorporate all several ropes, just two of them and sporadically include exercises without the rope, such as lunges, jumping jacks or burpees. I love following along with a guided workout because it forces me to push myself! Plus, the app tracks the number of workouts, time spent and calories burned.
