Jump Your Way To Fitness With Jump Ropes
Posted by Goody on 04/8/08 in Health and Fitness
Everyone, young and old, know how enjoyable playing jump rope can be. But these ropes are not only toys — they can actually also serve as effective (not to mention fun) exercise equipment.
Jump ropes are pieces of rope used for games and athletic training. Two handles are attached at both the opposite ends of the rope for the user’s grip. While holding the handles the user twirls the rope vertically over his body, jumping or skipping continuously over the rope to let it pass under the feet and over the head. Using a rope is an effective exercise used for cardio activities, warm-ups, and stamina training in sports.
