20 minute Jump Rope Work out

Here's an intense, quick calorie blasting workout for you to try. This 20 minute workout is really similar to the Cardio Jump class I teach and is  great workout if you are short on time.

 Equipment:  Jump Rope, Watch or Timer

Take breaks when necessary- but your goal is to work the whole 20 minutes. I would not advise anyone with knee issues or knee injuries to do this workout.  Ideally you want to jump on a shock absorbent floor, such as wood.... stay away from concrete if you can!

Warm up with some light skipping

Do one minute of each of the following drills

1. Normal Skipping
2. Out/In Jumps
3. High Knees
4. Burpee Jacks

5. Normal Skipping
6. Cross Country Skiers
7. Alternating single leg jump
8. Lateral Hop Burpee Tuck Jumps

9. Up and Back Jumps
10. Front Kicks
11. High Knees
12. Forward and Backward hops with Tuck jump

13. Normal Skipping
14. Twisters
15. Alternating single leg jumps
16. 8 high knees and 8 mountain climbers

17. Normal Skipping
18. Out/In Jumps
19. Cross Country Skiers
20. Alternating single leg jumps!

Cool Down and Stretch
