Jumping Rope

An exercise I have doing a lot of lately is jump roping. I was advised to do 15-30 minutes of jump roping daily. There are benefits for both athletes as well as people that are looking to stay active, gain, or maintain a healthy status. For athletes it helps your footwork, endurance, and cardiovascular strength. It's great for football players, more specifically skill players, as well as basketball players, boxers, etc. For those of us that are just doing it to stay healthy it increases your cardiovascular strength, and can help you maintain a good weight. You wonder why I say it could help you maintain a good weight? Trust me if you jump rope for 15-30 minutes you'll sweat a good amount. With that being said while you sweat you burn fat, helping you maintain a healthy weight.
