About this Workout
Jumping rope isn't just for kids! It's a high-intensity cardio workout that also blasts calories. No jump rope? No problem! You can do this workout even without a jump rope. Coach Nicole will lead you through a short warm up, cardio workout, cool down and stretching routine in about 10 minutes, making it easy to fit into your day. Free of complex choreography, this workout is appropriate for people of many different fitness levels and abilities.
  • Length: 10 minutes
  • Equipment: Jump rope (optional)
  • Type of Workout: Cardio (aerobic) & flexibility
  • Fitness Level: Intermediate to Advanced
  • Impact: High-impact
  • Safety Precautions: Wear proper footwear and pay attention to your footwork to avoid tripping or slipping. Exercise at your own intensity level, using tips provided to lower your intensity if necessary. Only complete as much of the video as you can, taking a break to recover (by marching in place) when necessary. Never stop abruptly--if you get tired, try to stay moving, even if you're just walking in place. As you progress, try to finish the entire video.
  • Extra Tip: If you don't have a jump rope, don't have the coordination to use one, or simply don't have enough space to turn a rope, you can still do this workout by mimicking the jump rope movement with your hands.

  • This was awesome! I love how she gives a count down...it seemed like everytime I was about to give up and she would say 5 seconds left so I would hang in there. Question: If I am going to repeat the video a couple of times do I skip the stretching untill the last time through the video or should I do the stretching everytime??? - 4/30/2013 7:47:36 PM

  • I liked this jump rope workout very much! Finally I have a "JumpSnap" (the ropeless jumprope) and it was perfect for this! No ropes to get in the way -- but counts how long you jumped as well as calories burned! Thanks, Nicole! - 4/4/2013 2:33:19 PM
  • I loved this workout. It was fun and it raised my heart rate without causing to much tiredness. Wish I would have had a jump rope but I did the workout without one which worked just as well. - 4/2/2013 3:30:44 PM
