I often jump rope for 5-10 minutes as a warmup instead of the treadmill

I've been jumping rope damn near my entire life. It's the shyt. You burn a ton of calories in such a short amount of time and it cuts you up. I typically use a heavy rope and occasionally use a speed rope. The heavy rope sets my rear delts on fire. And its better on your joints than running.
I lost mad weight hooping when I was like 14

I can't figure out how to boxer skip
do it to music w a beat you can catch the rhythm of......makes it a lot easier if you think of it like a dance. Well for my brain anyway.
This is really it. Once I got good at it I loved it. All you need is 20-25 mins for a great session. Skip for like a min, rest for 15 secs and keep going. Get a nice playlist and then you’re golden.
Main thing is to get a rope with enough weight and size it to your height.
Bend the knees slightly and skip on the balls of your feet and it takes the impact off your knees.
I jump rope for an hour every other day and doing calisthenics the other days. I just put on a playlist and rest if I have to for 15 seconds between songs. I’ve lost 25 lbs in about 3 months.
I got a Crossrope Get Lean set, it’s expensive but worth the investment for how much I use it. Also looking into getting their Bolt set for double unders.

$2 rope.
3 min rounds. 30 second breaks
x 4-12 rounds.
I go through about 15 a year, they all break eventually.
Thin ropes is for CrossFit. Let them have it.
If you can’t do dbl unders with a normal cheap rope then try harder.
Only way to get good at it is to do it.

Finally got my rope, y'all. About to get it in tonight. First time jump roping in years. It sprinkled a little bit so the ground is wet but it's time to get it anyway.
How did you come to the conclusion that it’s more fun than any of those other exercises?? Something about starting cardio in one spot and ending in that exact same spot bothers the fukk out of me lol. I’ll take playing a sport, or running outside or swimming or biking/hiking over it every time.

Great for circuit training. a min or two jump rope, 50 push ups, 1 minute Plank, or random core exercise. repeat x 5. Play with the numbers if too easy or too hard.
