5 Reasons to Jump Rope

Jumping rope is an often overlooked method for getting into shape. After all, a piece of string can’t hope to compete with a high-tech treadmill. Despite its simplicity, jumping rope is one of the most effective ways to exercise your heart, lose weight and add variety to your workout. Here are five reasons you should consider jumping rope for your cardiovascular workout.

1) It is simple and free

All you need to start jump roping is an inexpensive rope and place to jump. There are higher end models that you can buy, but I found that a simple plastic or beaded rope works best. If you cannot afford gym fees or don’t have any place to run near your neighborhood, then you should definitely consider jumping rope.

2) Jumping rope works your entire body

Not only does it exercise your legs, but jumping rope also works on your arms, shoulders and abs. There are many variations from the standard two feet jump that specifically target different body parts, such as criss-crossing to focus on your shoulders and double rotations for your arms. Since it works multiple body parts, it is a great way to tone your body.

3) It improves your hand-eye coordination

Although it seems like an easy enough concept to do – jump over the rope and try not to fall – it does take practice to get a consistent rhythm going. Some are natural and don’t struggle their first time, but most will be tripping and stepping on the rope for a while. But by the time you are able to jump decently, you will have improved your agility and speed. There is a reason boxers jump rope. It helps improve their flexibility and develop speed in their footwork. This is a useful benefit for all athletes.

4) Jumping rope allows you to burn a large amount of calories in a short time

If you are busy, and don’t have the time to run at the gym or park, then jumping intensely for 15 minutes is a great alternative. Since jumping rope requires your whole body, it is much more exhausting than other cardiovascular workouts. Simply try to jump for 15 minutes straight, and you will realize how hard the exercise can be.

5) Portability

Jump ropes are compact and allow you to get a good workout almost anywhere because of their small required space. Treadmills are bulky and anchor you to single spot, forcing you to watch the same view over and over again. It becomes boring fast and is not motivating. While running outside provides you with a change of scenery, it can be challenging to run in winter or bad weather. There is nothing worse than running on a snowy day only to slip on a patch of ice that was hidden underneath. You will appreciate a jump rope’s portability and simplicity much more when you try to keep fit during those long winter days.

Of course, a jump rope is only a tool, and the benefits are dependent on your dedication and conviction to improving your health. That being said, It is one of the best and versatile fitness tools, proving that just because something is simple doesn’t mean it’s not effective.

Fitness Face Off: Cardio or Weights?

By Diane Kelly, Prevention Magazine

It’s a busy day and you’ve only got 30 minutes to squeeze in a workout. Should you run on the treadmill or lift weights? A new study in The American Journal of Physiology suggests cardio is the way to go for overweight people because aerobic exercise burns nearly 70 percent more calories than resistance weight training and seems to have more health benefits.

Researchers studied 196 overweight, sedentary people ages 18 to 70 over the course of a year to determine if cardio training, strength training, or a combination of the two would decrease fat and improve health. Their results determined that for overweight and obese individuals who want to reduce visceral (belly) fat and fatty liver infiltration and improve fasting insulin resistance, a moderate amount of aerobic exercise is the most time efficient and effective exercise mode.

So should you stop doing toning exercises?

“Cardio and strength-training are kind of like peanut butter and jelly — you need them both,” says Prevention fitness expert Chris Freytag, board member of the American Council on Exercise, and author of 2-Week Total Body Turnaround (Rodale).

5 Workout Myths That Mess With Results

She says we need cardio to burn off calories and extra fat and to improve heart health.

“But strength-training is the long-term fix — building muscle is the secret to keeping metabolism fired up. I believe the results of this study but I wouldn’t recommend people stop strength-training.

“Because strength is the key to metabolism and we start to lose about a 1/2 pound of muscle per year after the age of 35, we need to replace it or we will get weak and our metabolism will slow down. Strength training also keeps your bones strong and makes you feel and look better.”

How to Lose Fat Around The Belly and Look Amazing

September 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Imagine if you knew how to lose fat around the belly? You would feel great and look amazing, not to mention the rubber necking looks of the opposite sex.

Now imagine every time you pulled your shirt off you looked down and smiled at your hard core six pack.How to Lose Fat Around the Belly

Once you dive into this article I recently found, you have everything you need to learn how to lose fat around the belly.

And the  body transformation you covet will reveal itself

Core exercises: 7 reasons to strengthen your core muscles

You know core exercises are good for you — but do you include core exercises in your fitness routine? Here are seven reasons why you should.

By Mayo Clinic staff

Core exercises are an important part of a well-rounded fitness program. Aside from occasional sit-ups and push-ups, however, core exercises are often neglected. Still, it pays to get your core muscles — the muscles around your trunk and pelvis — in better shape. Check out seven specific reasons to include core exercises in your fitness routine.

1. Core exercises improve your balance and stability

Core exercises train the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and stability, whether on the playing field or in daily activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.

2. Core exercises don’t require specialized equipment or a gym membership

Any exercise that uses the trunk of your body without support counts as a core exercise. Abdominal crunches are a classic core exercise. Try lying on your back and placing your feet on a wall so that your knees and hips are bent at 90-degree angles. Tighten your abdominal muscles, then raise your head and shoulders off the floor. Classic push-ups count, too. You can also do push-ups on your knees or standing up against a wall.

3. Core exercises can help tone your abs

Want more defined abdominal muscles? Core exercises are important. Although it takes aerobic activity to burn abdominal fat, core exercises can strengthen and tone the underlying muscles.

4. Strong core muscles make it easier to do most physical activities

Strong core muscles make it easier to do everything from swinging a golf club to getting a glass from the top shelf or bending down to tie your shoes. Weak core muscles leave you susceptible to poor posture, lower back pain and muscle injuries.

5. You can take it slow

You don’t have to dedicate hours a day to core exercises. Instead, concentrate on doing each exercise with correct technique and proper form. Gradually build up to 10 to 15 repetitions of each exercise. Also remember to take a break when you need one. If you work your core muscles to fatigue during an exercise session, wait at least a day between workouts to give your muscles time to recover.

6. You can do core exercises at home

Remember, you don’t have to trek to the gym to do core exercises. Try them on the floor at home while you’re watching your favorite shows. You can even do core exercises with a fitness ball. To do abdominal crunches with a fitness ball, for example, sit on the ball with your feet resting on the floor, about hip-width apart. Cross your arms on your chest, tighten your abdominal muscles and lean back until your abdominal muscles kick in. Hold for three deep breaths, then return to the starting position and repeat.

7. Core exercises can help you reach your fitness goals

Aerobic exercise and muscular fitness are the primary elements of most fitness programs — and stretching counts, too. But to have a truly well-rounded fitness program, you should include core exercises in the mix as well. Whether you’re a novice taking the first steps toward fitness or a committed fitness fanatic hoping to optimize your results, a well-rounded fitness program is the best way to reach your fitness goals.

You now have seven simple tips you can use to discover how to lose fat around the belly.

And your smart enough to know, it’s now all about the abs. The entire core needs to be fine tuned and built with lean muscle to achieve the look you covet.

You will also want to start to clean up the diet and change the eating habits you have etched in your DNA the past few years.

Start out with something simple and attainable like eating six smaller meals a day. Choose a lean source of protein at every meal.

When you start small, it’s easier to allow the snowball to build and soon your eating habits will clean themselves up and the snowball of health will steam roll down the hill of fitness. It sure beats climbing it!

Pictures: 10 easy ways to burn calories this summer

A new study showed aerobic exercise burns nearly 70 percent more calories than resistance weight training.

“Resistance training is great for improving strength and increasing lean body mass,” study author Dr. Cris Slentz, an exercise physiologist at Duke University, said in awritten statement. “But if you are overweight, which two thirds of the population is, and you want to lose belly fat, aerobic exercise is the better choice because it burns more calories,”

For the eight-month study – published in the August 25 issue of the American Journal of Physiology -196 overweight and sedentary adults, ages 18 to 70, did aerobic training, resistance training, or a combination of the two. Study participants weren’t allowed to slack – aerobic exercisers had to jog 12 miles per week at 80 percent of their maximum heart rate, and resistance trainers had to lift weights for 8-12 reps, three times a week.

What happened? By study’s end, the joggers had improved insulin resistance and levels of liver enzymes and triglycerides, which are tied to a lower risk for diabetes and heart disease. They also sported less belly fat.

Belly fat doesn’t just look bad. Also known as visceral fat, belly fat fills the spaces between organs, and too much of it is associated with heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

“When it comes to increased health risks, where fat is deposited in the body is more important than how much fat you have,” Slentz said.

Don’t feel up to running 12 miles a week?

Slentz said what really counts is whatever it takes to lose calories, adding, “If you choose to work at a lower aerobic intensity, it will simply take longer to burn the same amount of unhealthy fat.”

WebMD has more on aerobic fitness.

 

So…if you’re overweight and in fear of the health risks caused by obesity…cardiovascular workouts will stave off diabetes and it’s deadly cousins.

Wait!

Yup, an idea just popped in my head for those who want to learn how to get washboard abs fast.Washboard Abs

Why not combine resistance training and  cardio five days a week with a squeaky clean diet?
