Rope Skipping is an ancient sport with hundreds of new skills & many benefits:
Rope Skipping is a low-cost, indoor activity that requires few equipment and space with no special attire. The variety of movement combinations is unlimited, offering opportunities to express creativity and individuality. Rope Skipping improves fine coordination agility and fluidity of movement, flexibility and lateral movement. It also improves the sense of rhythm, speed, power, timing and balance. The rapid progression and improvement often experienced with skipping/jumping rope may help enhance self-esteem and body image. Rope Skipping also promotes social aspects. Especially Double Dutch and freestyle encourage team spirit.
There are, however, also enough possibilities for less acrobatically sportsmen and women. Rope Skipping is not only about fun, but also good for your health. Your heart circulation system becomes stronger and your condition improves. Hence, considered a very good cardiovascular exercise. One of the best exercises to counteract osteoporosis (weakening of bone) during the later stage in life.
Skip Yourself Fit:
The health benefits obtained from a small amount of cardiovascular exercise every week is well established. Moderate to low-intensity activities done as little as 30 minutes a day can bring benefits. Such activities include walking, gardening, housework, and stair climbing. More vigorous aerobic exercise such as running, swimming, cycling and skipping done for a minimum of 30 minutes at least 3 times a week is much more beneficial for improving the fitness of the heart and lungs. Studies show this type of exercise will help reduce the risk of heart disease, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Exercise also reduces the risk of non-insulin-dependent diabetes, colon cancer, depression and anxiety. As well as help you to reach and maintain a healthy weight.
So, why should you choose skipping over any other form of aerobic exercise? Skipping will, like other exercises improve your heart rate and blood pressure, promote fat loss, improve flexibility, coordination and balance and improve muscle tone, particularly in the thighs, buttocks, calves. As skipping is a high impact exercise it is also particularly beneficial in maintaining/improving bone density which in turn can help to reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life. As it improves balance and coordination in can help reduce the risk of falls.
It has also been stated that 10 minutes of skipping has the same health benefits as a 30-minute hard run. An interesting thought for those of us with hectic lifestyles that use the excuse that we can't find time to exercise! Research carried out, found that skipping burns more calories than jogging and football. It is portable and convenient as it can be done anywhere and be performed at all levels. Beginners can mix shorter bouts of skipping with longer periods of lower-impact/intensity exercise such as marching in place, step-ups etc or strengthening exercises such as sit-ups, press-ups etc.
