Most times it is difficult to go to a gym let
alone going for jogging. The solution to this is to get a skipping rope, it should not be
expensive to get one. Stay at home and skip at least a 100 times (that’s what I
do). You can do at intervals of 20 skips or more if you wish and this should
not take you up to 5 minutes.
Skipping
is a zero-cost workout. The only cost is purchase of skipping rope.
According to the British Rope Skipping Association, 10
minutes of skipping can have the same health benefits as 45 minute jogging.
Skipping will help you protect you against high blood
pressure (hypertension). It promotes cardio-vascular activity. Each
session leads to better cardio-respiratory improvements, making the heart stronger
and allowing it to pump more blood, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your
tissues.
The effort it takes to jump rope for 10 minutes is the
equivalent of running a mile in eight minutes.
Skipping is very good for weight loss. One hour of rope
skipping can help you burn 1,300 calories.
Skipping can help you
prevent Arthritis. Since skipping is weight bearing, it boosts a person's bone
density, helping to keep off Arthritis.
I recommend you skip every morning once you wake up..... even before you pray(if you do). 2-5 minutes is all it takes. Be consistent. You will notice an improvement in your health within seven days of regular skipping.
