For a cardio vascular workout that will literally take your breath away nothing quite compares to the benefits of jumping rope.

In fact the benefits of jump rope include:

• Portability - you don't need an expensive gym membership to get a fantastic workout. Whether you are on business or on vacation you simply need to toss a jump rope into your suitcase and your ready for a great workout - anywhere you go. No driving to the gym, paying gym dues, or embarrassing gym moments.
• Affordability - the jump ropes on Only Jump Ropes range in price. But let's face it, even the expensive ropes are a small price to pay for the health benefits derived. Yes, you can invest in a speed rope or a weighted jump rope one you are more advanced. Right now you can begin the health benefits of jumping rope for just a few dollars for a simple school yard rope.
• Increased agility - the act of jumping rope increases agility, coordination as well as endurance. Oh you may feel awkward at first, especially if you have not jumped rope since your childhood, but soon you will notice your agility increasing.
• Burn calories - or better said, burn a ton of calories...and fat! In fact if you are simply jumping rope at a reasonable pace you can burn up to 800 calories per hour. The faster you jump the more calories you burn. The real key is to start slowly and then build up to a faster pace as your conditioning improves. True beginners might not be able to last 2-3 minutes - and that great! Soon you will work up to 20 minute sessions.

Add some free weight training or band resistance training to the mix and you have the makings of an effective workout. A workout that will tone your muscles and elevate your metabolism for hours after the workout has ended.
