How do you like that Golds Jewdochoke? I know a handful of guys complaining that its always packed and more like a 24hr fitness than a real gym.

At one gym I go to, there is one kid that goes there and does nothing but jump rope. For my entire workout I see him doing jump rope. He's good as fuck, all sorts of tricks and goes forever. But if I were that kids parents, I wouldn't want to pay for a membership when all he has to do is walk outside and jump rope on the damn sidewalk.

yes it's great but to ovoid being bored it's better to change,.. one time treadmill, the next to be jumping, then swimming if possible.. etc..

Post by: berblexer on October 12, 2011, 12:11:30 PM: The good thing of jump rope is that you can do it anywhere.

Really convenient when you do not have the time to go for a run or to the gym.

Its also great for coordination, and it works more muscle groups that running or bicyling for example.

Post by: devilsmile on October 12, 2011, 12:14:23 PM: well USUally people jump rope 10-15 minutes for a warm up... yeah guess what, I lifted a 45lbs plate today.... oh yeah it's true!!

anyway, this is how you jump rope.

and it's not floyd mayweather routine obviously because floyd would be too weak to do squat jumps with the rope.

Post by: MB on October 12, 2011, 01:11:19 PM: What about some high rep clean & presses? That will really get your heart rate going and is a good warm-up for any kind of workout.

Post by: dr.chimps on October 12, 2011, 01:18:14 PM: Jumping rope is great, but after 10-12 Rolling Rocks I get a bit sloppy with my timing.
Title: Re: forget the treadmill!! im jumping rope
Post by: Domthemilky on October 12, 2011, 02:31:51 PM: I think jump rope is much more fun than running on the treadmill, or even walking ::)

Plus it keeps you quick on your feet, never know when that can come in handy in day to day life :P
