Jump-Rope Workout
Tone arms and legs, strengthen your heart, and improve balance with this recess favorite.
Basic Jump
Swing the rope over your head and jump as it passes your feet. You don't have to jump high, just enough to clear the rope. Land evenly on both feet. Continue for one minute, then rest for one minute.
Alternate-Foot Jump
Swing the rope over your head and jump as it passes your feet. Land on your right foot. On the next rotation, land on your left. Continue this, as if you were running in place, for one minute. Rest for one minute.
High Step
Repeat the alternate-foot jump, but this time raise each knee to a 90-degree angle while jumping. Continue for one minute, then rest for one minute.
