How do you incorporate jumprope in your training?

I use it as a quick warmup if someone has come in a few minutes late. When appropriate. It’s good for bone density as well.

Hi Bernadette,

I use jumprope drills in my Bootcamp classes and will often use them for intervals with clients.
It’s a great form of cardio that many people enjoy–even though it takes a little coordination to get it going!

I took a workshop in the mid 90s with Mindy Mylrea using what she called ‘sport rope’. I remember she was really good. Maybe there are some videos online you could take a look at.

Good luck

Sure, look at boxers and the shape they get in! Still when I start people out, I simply have them “fake jump rope” getting their body used to the jumping and arm motions. I feel this allows the person to get used to the actions but continue the cardio workout. As they get comfortable, I then add in the actual rope.

Persoanlly I have found that someone that starts out with the rope takes too long getting used to it so their cardio is broken every time the rope catches their foot. Hope this helped!
