You think that skipping ropes are just for kids? Think again! Skipping ropes are one of the most effective ways of getting a cardio workout at home.
Skipping ropes are simple to use, require little space to use (thought look out for the chandeliers!) and provide a great workout. They also cost very little.
Just look at the benefits of regularly using a skipping rope:
- Improved cardiovascular fitness
- Improve stamina
- Increased lower leg strength
- Increased flexibility
- Improved co-ordination
- Better balance
- Improved rhythm and symmetry
When buying skipping ropes, there are several things to look for:
- Length: The optimum length for a beginner is easy to find - standing on the centre of the rope, the handles should reach to just below your armpits.
- Handles: These are usually lightweight plastic on the cheaper models, or wooden on the better quality ones.
- Extras: You might think this is something so simple that there could not possibly be any extras, but if you're prepared to pay a little more, you can get one that has a counter to keep track of your jumps!
For something that costs between ?5 and ?15, you get a lot of workout!
