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.

Here’s 3 Simple Six Pack Abs Workout for Women

September 25, 2011 By 1 Comment

Want the best six pack abs workout for women?

In this article I’ll reveal three you can use today to start eliminating stomach fat while toning and tightening your midsection.

You’re intelligent enough to realize it all happens with strength training and cardiovascular exercise.Six Pack Abs Workout for Women

At least, we thought. Read this article below as it let’s in you on new research.

Then I’ll let you in on my six pack abs workout for women.

By SEANNE SAFAII, Ph.D., RD and TIFFANY SCHAEFFER, UI Dietetics Student

Sweets and other snacks may be the downfall to anyone’s plan to lose weight, but new research is contradicting that claim. A recent article in the August issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association detailed a study about weight loss in overweight and obese premenopausal women. In this study, one group of women were placed on a reduced calorie diet and permitted to have a premeasured portion of dark chocolate or licorice daily. The other group was not. At the end of the study, both groups had lost a significant amount of weight.

The successful weight loss of the group having sweets is due to key factors in the intervention. First, the group was on a reduced calorie diet that resulted in slow steady weight loss over a period of 18 weeks. Traditional diets usually require restriction of food for a shorter period of time until the diet is over. The problem with this idea is that once the diet is finished, the restriction is no longer in place, which may lead to the return of old habits and weight. As much as we all would like it to, weight loss cannot be achieved nor maintained overnight. This is why long-term weight loss must be a completely permanent lifestyle change. Slow and steady changes over a long period of time eventually become permanent habits and a way of life.

Second, by allowing pleasurable snacks that fit within the calorie guidelines, the group that was not restricting treats faired just as well as the restricted group. This seems contradictory to traditional diet guidelines, but demonstrates why moderation and portion size are key in achieving and maintaining weight loss. Small reductions in portion size reduces calories, which means weight loss over a period of time. Moderation of favorite foods in smaller doses ensures that eating can still be exciting and pleasurable while maintaining motivation and the likelihood of weight loss.

Although this study did not test physical activity in relation to weight loss, regular exercise is also important in reducing and maintaining weight. A Registered Dietitian can help you make a healthy weight loss plan and lifestyle changes tailored to your goal weight. To find a Registered Dietitian, go to www.eatright.org.

Flashy diets promise long lasting dramatic results, however, the truth is that most do not. The dieting cycle often results in fluctuating weight and discouragement. Free yourself from the doom and gloom of the “diet” lifestyle by making changes in portion sizes, and include some sweet, pleasurable snacks in your meal plan.

Well, fluctuating diets can be a thing of a past once you start to applying my six pack abs workout for women.

Here’s the tips I promised.

  1. High intensity interval training is a must to blast away stomach fat. You can run on a treadmill at high speeds for a minute, then walk for a minute and a half. Keep this up for a half hour and results will show soon enough. Try to spike your heart rate and then bring it back down and spike it again.
  2. Strengthen your core muscles. Try and use total body exercises. When you replace fat tissue with lean muscle tissue all over your body, it makes easier to see those abs pop!
  3. Skip rope….you can’t believe the health benefits from such a simple workout. Hit it hard for minute, rest for a minute and continue to alternate for up to 30 minutes.

These work if your dedicated to the workout routine.

Now clean up diet and you’ll get the results, you deserve it.
