Benefits of Jump Rope: • Jumping rope can increase the elasticity and resiliency of lower-leg muscles, leading to a reduced risk of lower-leg injuries. Jumping rope regularly strengthens the calf muscles and improves the elasticity of the surrounding tendons and fascia. • Jumping rope can help improve your coordination. The steady cadence and rhythm of jumping rope can help improve the coordination between your eyes, feet and hands. • Jumping rope can help improve your cognitive function. This is because jumping rope involves learning new motor patterns, which improves the nervous system communication between your brain, wrists and lower leg muscles. • Jumping rope can help increase the intensity of circuit-training workouts. Strength-training workouts that alternate between different muscle groups can increase heart rate and provide a cardiorespiratory benefit. Adding one or more jump-rope stations to a circuit is an easy way to increase the intensity of the overall workout. • A jump rope is the only piece of home cardio equipment you really need. All you need for space is the ability to safely swing the rope without hitting any furniture or knick-knacks.
