Its great ever Can't muster the motivation to make it to the gym? Skip it! Jumping rope burns more than 10 calories a minute while strengthening your legs, butt, shoulders, and arms. And it doesn't take long to reap major rewards. You can burn more than 200 calories in two, 10-minute sessions each day (that's 1,000 calories a week)! Jumping rope is also a great way to fit in an effective cardio session when you're on the go; just toss it in your carry-on! You'll probably feel completely energized after jumping rope too. Try adding this routine to your existing strength plan or do it alone as a cardio workout. For best results, do the full workout three to five times a week. The two core exercises will give your body time to recover between jumps while tightening your tummy. What are you waiting for? Hop to it! 5 minutes: double-leg jumps Jump continuously at a steady pace. Keep shoulder blades down and back, chest lifted, and jump softly.

Keep legs engaged the entire time. Take deep breaths. 2 minutes: single-leg jumps Jump continuously on one leg for 30 seconds. Switch to other leg for 30 seconds. Repeat one more time, 30 seconds each leg. Keep leg that is lifted in front of leg that is jumping. Try to switch feet without stopping. 2 minutes: double-leg jumps Jump continuously as fast as possible.
