09/17/2009 | 12:00 AM
If you think jumping rope is only for kids then think again. Jumping rope is one of the most efficient workouts and can burn up to 1000 calories per hour. It optimizes cardiovascular conditioning and improves athletic skills by combining coordination and timing. The basic jump rope exercise is done by simply swinging the rope over your head and skipping over it but you can add variations by adding your own steps. 10-minutes of jump rope exercise in the morning is a good way to begin your workout for the day.
