Strive Aerobics Cardio Box Intro
Jumping rope isn’t rocket science but you may not know exactly what to do for a good jump rope workout. Just follow these simple steps and you will have an excellent formula for burning fat fast.
Before you get started, you want to do the following:
1. Get a good rope
2. Find a shock absorbent surface such as a wood floor, gym mat, outdoor track or tennis court to jump on. Jumping on concrete is bad for your joints.
3. Make sure to have good shoes or cross-trainers with plenty of cushioning for your feet.
4. Have a watch or timer that you can see clearly so you can time yourself.
5. Have some fun music to jump to so you can stay motivated… ipod, radio, or tv all work fine.
6. Realize that jumping rope does take some coordination. Don’t give up. The more you practice the better you will get!
Most people that try Shaun T Insanity are surprised that the warm up itself doesn’t seem like much of a warm-up, it’s more like a workout itself. Though, it’s good to have a straight forward and fast approach since this is only an eight week workout program. You won’t be standing around and just simply going through the motions.
Basically, the first month is broken into four repeat weeks where you switch out a variety of 5 DVDs and perform them in different order each week. Then you get a one week “recovery week” to build core and balance. Then you end the eight week workout program with a final 4 weeks of MAX training which is where the real work comes in.
All you need to do for a good warm up is a slow and steady exercise, like walking, stepping side to side, or dancing. Anything that you can start out doing slowly and gradually increase your speed is a good warm-up.
After doing your warm up exercise for a few minutes, it is a good idea to stretch out all of your muscles. Your whole warm up can take as little as 3-5 minutes depending on how long you plan to exercise for. The idea is to start your heart pumping without overdoing it.
Shaun T’s eight week workout program is not a joke, there is no additional equipment besides your own body, gravity, a DVD player, the eight week workout program itself, and the will to push.
Shaun T Insanity comes with a companion nutrition guide which has you pick from meals to eat 5 times a day. There really are no snacks; each meal is a decent meal with a balanced approach at nutrition.
3. Add Variety
As you become used to the movement and to exercise, your fitness jump rope workout will become easier. You need to adjust your workout to keep it effective. Jump rope using high knees, moving forward and backwards, or side to side and continue this for five minutes. Some other jump rope exercises include “boxing step” (which involves bouncing on one foot for a few passes of the rope and then swapping feet and bouncing on the other for a few more) and “double unders” (where you pass the rope two times under your feet in a single jump).
So there you have it. Remember to keep at it. At first a jump rope workout may seem difficult and you may trip over the rope or hit yourself in the head. Don’t get discouraged. In a few weeks you will be jumping like a pro
