Before We Get Started
Have you joined our jump rope community?
We've got one of the FASTEST growing jump rope communities online. We've got almost 100,000 jumpers of all fitness levels from all across the globe coming together to achieve amazing fitness results. You can learn more about our community, here.
Tools for this Workout
Here are the tools you're going to need for today's workout:
> Get Fit Bundle (I'm using the 1 LB rope)
> A timer - use your smartphone or stopwatch
Pro Tip: The premium version of the Crossrope App features a jump counter and timer combination. You can keep track of your rotations to set and beat your personal records.
> Some space to jump - I'll be jumping outside in the park
The Get Fit Bundle has everything you need to achieve any fitness goal you desire. The set comes with four ropes - a 1/4 LB, 1/2 LB, 1 LB, and 2 LB rope.
For this workout, I'll be using the 1 LB rope.
Note - the Get Fit Bundle is not mandatory for this workout, but a heavier jump rope will definitely provide better results, especially because it's easier to maintain your rhythm and it provides an upper body component when you're jumping.
Beginner Heavy Jump Rope Workout
Today's 15 minute workout is built around the EMOM workout protocol - we'll be doing a combination of jump rope and bodyweight workouts where every minute on the minute we'll be doing a new interval.
Here's your objective for today: complete the following 5 minute jump rope + bodyweight workout routine 3 times for a total of 15 minutes:
- 50 basic jumps
- 20 mountain climbers
- 50 alternate foot jumps
- 20 bodyweight squats
- 20 jump rope jacks
Remember to go at your own pace. The faster you go through your set, the more intense it's going to be, but the more rest you'll need for the next set.
When you're finished, mark down how many full rounds you completed and come share it in our community to compare your results with other jumpers!
