EXERCISE OF THE MONTH: AUGUST.

Skipping

INVISIBLE SKIPPING

Benefits:
Want the benefits of a great cardio move that will get your heart pumping, but don’t have the space for traditional skipping? Then forget the rope and just continue to rotate those arms while you’re jumping.

How to do it:

  • Stand with your feet close together, hands by your side.
  • As you begin jumping rotate your arms in a forward motion, as if the rope is in your hands.
  • Keep the arms going in big circles and make sure they don’t relax as you get more tired.
  • Try doing 3 intervals of 20 seconds, with a 10 second rest period in between. As you progress, you can increase the number of sets and/or time interval.
