WHY JUMP ROPE?

Blame it on the Egyptians. They started with using vines to jump.
The benefits of this simple but yet complex training technique ranks as an ideal brain exercise, bone builder, and as one of the most efficient ways of improving cardiovascular fitness in as little as ten minutes.

According to research jump rope for a minimum of five minutes a day can improve physical fitness and when you build to ten minutes of nonstop jumping at 120 RPMs it can provide the same benefits as the following:

• 30 minutes of jogging
• 2 sets of tennis singles
• 30 minutes of racquet and handball playing
• 720 yards of swimming
• 18 holes of golf
• ACRO-JUMPING
• JUMP ROPE ENTERTAINMENT

In addition, jumping helps to develop the left and right hemispheres of the brain, to further improve spacial awareness and reading skills, and increases memory and mental alertness. Jumping on balls of the feet requires the body and mind to make neural muscular adjustments to imbalances created from continuous jumping. As a result jumping improves dynamic balance and coordination, reflexes, bone density and muscular endurance.
