Many middle aged men and women in American today are struggling with the common problem of belly fat. Wrong food, lack of physical activity and mis-information is most likely to blame for developing this heart threatening fat. Experts agree, that along with a healthy diet, cardiovascular workouts are the absolutely best way to lose belly fat.
There are many ways to get the cardio workout in, so there is no lack of exercises to choose from, but a jump rope workout, has been proven to burn calories and therefore fat, faster than all the others. Because most people are stressed for time, it makes sense to choose your workout where you can get the most fat-burning in the least amount of time.
Some people I’ve talked with say that a jump rope routine is not for them because its too hard and requires a lot of coordination. And to that I would say, it does take some level of coordination. But there are a couple of options.
First, its always best to start any new workout routine slowly. You don’t expect to jump like a professional boxer in the first week. It is easy to work out slowly. You can start with a rope with the handles in both hands. Jump and swing the rope at the same time to mimic the actual rhythm of jumping. Start trying to time the snap of the rope on the ground with your jump. This approach lets you get a feel for jumping before you actually can get your feet tangled in the rope. You can gradually build up to the point where you are confident about being successful with the routine.
If that still has you intimidated, couple of innovative companies I know have developed a jump rope-like device that is perfect for people who want the super-calorie-burning benefits of jump rope fitness, but either don’t have the coordination, or can’t stand the high-impact of jumping. These devices even have a built in computer that monitors your heart rate, the number of actual “jumps”, the calories burned, and the length of the workout.
The on-board computer is built right into the handle — which can b weighted — adding that much more umph to your workout.
The other thing about a jump rope workout routine is that it is completely portable. You can take your “gear” with you where ever you go and keep yourself on a regular routine.
