(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 05, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- Using a jump rope as part of a fitness program has many advantages. Jumping rope is a simple exercise but it is effective in:
Burning calories. Jumping rope is an aerobic exercise and can actually burn more calories than jogging.
Decreasing foot and ankle injuries. Jumping rope increases strength in the muscles surrounding the ankle and foot.
Improving bone density. According to experts, the best exercise is simply jumping up and down.
Improving cardiovascular health. To increase heart and lung health, jump rope at least 3x per week, 20 minutes each time.
Improving breathing efficiency. In addition to building stamina, jumping rope improves how efficiently one breathes. This conditions one for running and swimming.
Aside from the health benefits from jumping rope, a jump rope is an economical and portable equipment tool. It can be taken to work, school, or even on vacations. This lets one continue with an exercise routine without disruption. However, it is also important to remember that to get the maximum benefit from jumping rope, the correctly-sized jump rope is necessary.
Box ropes come in one size but those who use them differ in height. The WOD Nation jump rope can be quickly-sized with the use of wire cutters. In his video, experienced and certified coach and trainer demonstrates the proper way in sizing the rope.
Here's how to size the WOD Nation jump rope in a few easy sterps:
Measure the rope to fit one's height, step on it with the foot right in the middle.
Bring the left handle to chest height and tighten the adjustment screw.
Loosen the adjustment screw and move the handle down to match the height of the right handle.
Clip the excess wire with a wire cutter and replace the rubber end cap.
The WOD Nation rope comes with a rubber slider so that the wire doesn't take out during jumping.
The correctly-sized jump rope is important in making jumping rope an effective exercise routine. It is also necessary for those who want to do double-unders. To cut the WOD Nation speed jump rope to the right size, follow Barry Lavis' step-by-step demonstration in his YouTube video.
