Today, jumping rope is not only child's play, but also one of the fashionable trends in modern fitness, which is called skipping. Jumping rope is very healthy.
Skiing is a relatively new and young sport that began its development in the 80s of the last century. Today, rope training is gaining more and more popularity and is largely due to the fact that it helps to effectively get rid of excess weight.
During skipping, the body spends about 13 kcal per minute, which is equivalent to swimming in a pool, exercising on a tennis court or exercising on a treadmill. Thus, in an hour of intense training, you can burn up to 800 kcal.
Compared to other sports, jumping rope has many advantages, since it is available at any time and almost anywhere. There is no need to carve out hours for classes, follow a not always convenient schedule, go somewhere and depend on the weather, you can practice anywhere, including at home.
The choice of skipping ropes is quite wide: rubber and plastic, with heavy or light handles, with and without a revolution counter. In addition, this projectile is compact, fits easily in your pocket and does not require a lot of money.
Skiing actively engages the muscles of the arms, legs, abdominals and noticeably improves the contours of the body. In addition, rope training develops coordination of movements, endurance, a sense of balance, flexibility, and maintains correct posture. Jumping stimulates the heart muscles, maintains vascular tone and generally strengthens the cardiovascular system.
Skiing is suitable for morning exercises, it is advisable to include it in a regular set of exercises. Even 10 minutes of exercise a day allows you to lose extra pounds, keep your muscles toned, and improve the work of the respiratory system. In addition, jumping rope is beneficial for preventing osteoporosis.
However, safety is important for skipping. In particular, a rope made of metal or rubber can injure both the jumper and people passing by, and nylon and cotton do not develop high speed, so the best choice of material is polyvinyl chloride, which is lightweight and safe. Jumping shoes should be athletic, ideally sneakers with cushioning in the toes and sides.
It is advisable not to jump on asphalt and concrete; for training, a wooden floor, carpet, trampled soil, rubberized surfaces in gyms and outdoor areas, and a tennis court are more suitable. Before skipping, it is recommended to do some stretching exercises for the calf and Achilles tendons to maintain their elasticity and prevent inflammation.
