DIFFERENT TYPES OF JUMP ROPES

LEATHER JUMP ROPE

Due to it being slightly lighter than most jump ropes, it is popular with beginners because you can quickly learn how to jump rope and move onto a different workout.This is a slightly lighter jump rope than the Speed Rope and is used in strength, cardio and weight loss training.The King Athletics’ Leather Jump Rope exhibits all the main features needed to ensure smooth and effective training.

All of the main training categories can be practiced with this jump rope, however it is optimal for Interval, Continuous and Circuit training workouts. As you will observe in the table, the leather jump rope is great for beginners to who are advanced , but looking for a low-impact, endurance type training. The following table indicates the optimal workout types and objectives best suited for this type of Jump Rope

 SPEED JUMP ROPES

For beginners it’s easier to get used to the speeds that can be achieved with this rope as they can easily control how fast they wish to go. However, you need to get yourself familiar with its weight to avoid repeatedly whipping yourself with it.

With a Speed Rope workout you can quickly develop your agility, endurance and speed in a focused manner.

Pro athletes that seek to enhance their footwork, coordination and speed, integrate jump rope speed training into their regimen. Double unders, the popular jump rope technique that involves two rope revolutions for each jump is a favorite among elite athletes and MMA, and boxing enthusiasts.

The following table indicates the optimal workout types and objectives best suited for this type of Jump Rope. Since the Speed Rope is the most versatile jump rope it can be used for virtually ANY workout irrespective of your expertise and fitness level.

HYPER JUMP ROPE

This  widely used in speed training by professional and amateur athletes.

Thanks to its assembly, it allows for advanced jumping techniques that increase both your speed and speed endurance, while at the same time providing a powerful calorie-busting and stamina-enhancing workout. A speed cable rope is ideal for HIIT and Circuit workouts.

The following table indicates the optimal

peed Cable is a groundbreaking speed jump rope with wire assembly perfect for high intensity speed training. Intermediate to advanced people also find the Speed Cable ideal for their speed workouts.

You can choose a Speed Cable instead of a Speed Rope if you wish to exclusively work on speed building. The Speed Cable is highly recommended if you’re interested in HIIT.

The Speed Cable is a popular choice among athletes doing  MMA, boxing, swimmers, sprinters and individuals doing speed and speed endurance training.

The Speed Cable is easy to use. If you’re an athlete that wants to build speed, coordination, agility and strength you are highly encouraged to work out with a Speed Cable and preferably opt for a HIIT or Circuit workout.

You can perform most jump rope techniques with the Speed Cable and its ideal for Double unders.

Just like the Speed Rope, the Speed Cable is for workout types and objectives that are best suited for this type of Jump Rope.

JUMP ROPE SHORT ADJUSTMENT

In this ultimate guide,  you will find 12 fantastic jump rope workouts to improve your fitness and health. These training samples however, are not medically prescribed and in fact, it’s wise to consult a fitness and health professional before trying any intense workout strategies. Especially if you suffered, or are currently rehabilitating from an injury, you need to ensure these workouts won’t exacerbate your injury or in any way put your health at risk.

This book is purely educational and targeted for healthy, non-obese adults. Additionally, especially the HIIT entails some risks, if not performed with the utmost care and proper execution.

It’s important to follow the safety tips below to ensure you take all steps necessary for a safe, injury-free workout.

Take some time to identify your fitness profile, i.e. your expertise level, your workout preference or ability and your ultimate workout goal if you haven’t done so already. This will allow you to choose the ideal jump rope workout.

In the event you experience light headedness, shortness of breath, and/or dizziness during your workout, stop immediately and adjust your workout plan according to your fitness level.

• Familiarize yourself with the basic jump rope techniques before you move onto more advanced ones. If you find any of the suggested workouts too complex and demanding, you can always do a basic jump rope exercise 3 times a week. Ensure you have a proper 5-minute warm-up (see page X) followed by basic jump rope exercise for 15  minutes. Always wrap up every routine with a 5-minute cool-down and stretching session. 
• If you’re new to HIIT, interval and circuit training, ensure you first understand how demanding and what level of fitness and aptitude they require to avoid physical injury.
• If any advice or instruction isn’t clear, don’t attempt it. If at any point any exercise hurts, stop immediately. You can always do the single bounce and alternate leg jump rope exercises if some are uncomfortable or too challenging for you.
• Ideally, you should follow each workout exactly, but because each individual is unique, adjust it to meet your needs and abilities.
•  If necessary, increase your rest periods, swap exercises or decrease the volume of a workout.
• Jump rope exercises are not safe if you’re overweight or obese as they put too much strain on your lower body, bones and joints. So, it’s best to look for lower-impact exercises like swimming and walking. If in doubt, consult your physician.
• The workouts in this book are gradually increasing in intensity. Workout #1 is always for beginners. Workout #2 is for intermediate to advanced level individuals and athletes. Always start with a workout that suits your fitness level.
• Ensure you perform your jump rope workout on a flat, clean surface.

• The International Rope Skipping Federation asserts that a wood, spring cushioned gym floor is the ideal jump rope surface.
• If you want to take your training outdoors, opt for a grass, level surface, a tennis court, or a rubber track for more comfort.
• When training indoors, always do so on rubberized floors or suspended wood floors for shock absorption and to limit the impact on your joints.
• The occasional rope whip aside, jump rope exercises do not cause any injuries. Gradually increase duration, complexity and volume and you will avoid injuries.
• For your first jump rope workout, don’t overdo it. Do no more than 5 minutes of exercising to minimize post-workout soreness and avoid injury. After an adjustment week, you will be ready to try any of the workouts presented here, given you meet all criteria mentioned above and that you’re taking into account age, weight, medical and physical condition apart from expertise level and fitness goal.

TIP:  Have ample, clear space for exercising. If indoors, you need at least a 4ftx6ft area and at least 10 inches extra height above your head.

• Each jump should be completed by landing on your toes, never your heels, as it could put too much strain on your feet and knee joints.
• It’s best to think of rope skipping as gentle bouncing. You should always bounce from the balls of your feet (the front part of your feet right after your toes).
• Choose shoes with a cushion sole for extra comfort. The American Council on Exercise recommends cross-training shoes to reduce injury risk.
• Music helps you keep a fast tempo and motivates you to stick to a workout even when fatigue kicks in. A 130-150 BPM tempo is ideal for medium intensity workouts. Go for music with up to 180 BPM for high intensity exercising.
• Never sacrifice good form over speed. Execute your techniques with accuracy and safety!
• Jump rope workouts are fun. You can swap between exercises, add new ones for variety and motivation and create brand new workouts just for the fun of it.
• There are over 50 different jump rope techniques you can try and most of them can be executed with slight variation (i.e. single foot, backwards, squatting and so on). So, you can imagine how many options you have and really, you have no excuse for another boring cardio workout ever again!
• Unless otherwise stated, the starting position is standing in upright position, head looking forward, knees slightly bent, rope handle in each hand with the jump rope hanging loose behind your heels. Arms are relaxed, at hips’ height and facing downwards and the swing starts from the wrist and not the arm. The bounce begins once the rope reaches head height.

FIFTEEN JUMP ROPE WORKOUTS

These are 15 jump rope techniques that once you master, will allow for variation, volume and complexity increase for  any workout you choose.

• Basic Bounce Jump - The single bounce jump is easy and effective. To execute,jump off of both your feet at the same time.
• Alternate Foot Jump -A variation of the basic bounce jump where you alternate between your feet for each bounce. To execute, lift your knee upwards and not backwards – as if you were jogging in place.
• Double Bounce- Jump once when jump rope is over your head and once again before the jump rope makes a full revolution to perform the double bounce. For every swing, bounce twice. Also known as jog step.
• High-knee jumps -This is a variation of the alternate foot jump, only you lift each knee much higher. 
• Side To Side Jump -Another basic jump, for each bounce you jump to your left about 4-5 inches and for the next bounce, 4-5 inches to the right. Also called Skier or Slalom jump.

• Bell Jump -Jump backwards for one jump then forward for the next without stopping.
• Scissors Jump -The bounce starts with the right foot extended forward, while still in mid-air switch legs so that once you land the left foot is extended forward and the right foot backwards.
• Straddle Jump -For this technique, you spread both feet to either side, spreading the left foot to the left and the right to the right side for each bounce you take. Effectively, you do jumping jacks only it’s with a jump rope.
• Double-unders - For each bounce, two rope revolutions need to be executed. Start with the basic bounce technique and gradually increase wrist rotation to perform the double under.
• Single-Foot Double Unders -Once you master the double-unders this will be no biggie. Start with the basic jump, follow with a two-feet double under and slightly lift one foot up to perform a single-foot double under.
• Backwards jumping -A single bounce jump, only the revolution starts from front to back.
• Butt Kicks -Do the basic single bounce jump but with exaggerated foot motion so that your feet touch your bottom.
• Single-Foot bell - A more complex bell workout. Bounce with one foot bent. The knee should remain soft and never lock in position when bounce is complete.

• Straddle Cross jump -Stand feet shoulder-width apart. Bounce to straddle position, cross legs on return before landing.
• Basic Crossover Jump -Bounce off of both your feet. When the jump rope is over your head cross your arms in a slightly downward motion. The moment the rope passes under your feet, restore your arms to their initial position. Imagine forming the ∞ symbol with your hands to execute accurately the form.

WARM UP
We recommend active warm-up instead of static stretches because this way you prepare your muscles for the intensity of a jump rope workout.  Due to the efficient blood circulation you will achieve with a warm-up, your body won’t be taken by surprise and it actually won’t fail to supply the oxygen and nutrients necessary in order to not have shortness of breath!

Did we mention that an active warm-up increases your flexibility, which ensures each jump rope technique is performed with the highest possible accuracy? As a result, you get better fitness outcomes and achieve injury prevention!

WORKOUT STRUCTURE
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST WORKOUT

The following workouts are numbered according to complexity.

• Workouts numbered “#1” are for first-timers and beginners
• Workouts numbered “#2” are for beginner to intermediate level individuals
• Workouts numbered “#3” are for advanced fitness level individuals and athletes.

For each of the four training models, we present their main benefits. This will help you choose the one that can help you reach your fitness goals faster.

Note: in order to avoid over and under training you should bear in mind and control for four factors:

FREQUENCY  OF WORKOUT - How many times a week you exercise
CHALLENGE LEVEL – How hard and intense the workout is
DURATION – How long each training session is
TYPE – HIIT, Interval, Continuous, Circuit

If you’re uncertain over what’s the ideal frequency, workout intensity, duration and type of training you should choose, consult a physical fitness professional.  Taking into account your health, physical condition and medical history will help you make a safe choice.

Similarly, if you choose, say to do Workout #2 of the Circuit Training and start feeling breathless and lightheaded you can adjust the workout intensity by switching to Workout #1, reducing the workout duration or by switching to an entirely different workout. Don’t be reluctant to try out different workouts until you find one that’s effective for you.

THE PERFECT WORKOUT FOR YOU

Understand your fitness level, your fitness and health goal and workout preference.

• Consult a physical fitness professional.
• See which of the four types of training is closer to your fitness profile.
• Ensure you understood and implemented all injury prevention and safety tips.
• Start working out. Adjust the training if you feel it’s not quite right.

CONTINUOUS TRAINING WORKOUT

Continuous training is the ultimate stamina building workout. It involves non-stop cardio training for a set period of time, usually about 20-40 minutes depending on your fitness target and current fitness condition.
