7 Jump-Rope YouTube Workouts for Every Day This Week
Getting your heart rate up is a key component of an effective workout, but fitting in cardio can become boring from time to time. While following a running training plan, killing it at spin class and mixing it up with ClassPass can help keep things interesting, combining quick bursts of movement into your current routine will help you stay strong. Our fave way to sneak some in? Channel your childhood self and pick up a jump rope! No worries if you’re not as skilled at double dutch as you were on the playground. We scoured YouTube for seven great workouts that are a total blast.
