Today's Fitness Tip: Don't underestimate the Jump Rope.

If you're looking for an alternative to regular cardio AND looking for a high intensity interval workout, you can find one for about $5.

Yep, a typical jump rope can offer a lot of advantages to you in a small space.

You don't have to jump continuously for extended periods of time like for 15 minutes straight.

You can simply jump a series of jumping styles and do for short periods of time.

It's better to go for shorter periods of time so you can get in a high quality effort and also a bit higher speed rate of turning the rope. 

You'd be amazed how quick your heart rate can climb in a short period of high intensity effort.

Start with these four types of jumps:

Basic jump in place
Side to Side Jumps
Front & Back Jumps
Split Jumps, alternating one foot forward, other foot backward

Grab a GymBoss timer and try some 15:15 work/rest periods. Going through all 4 jump styles would take 2 minutes, 10 rounds of those jumps would take 20 minutes. 

Or, do it with a partner and one person jumps while the other times.  It works well if you each have a stopwatch going to time the work/rest periods for both while you're working and resting.

Another option: get a basic clock and watch the second hand for your 15:15 times.

Make sure your calves are warmed up well.  Rolling sticks or foam rollers really help with this.
