Home Workout #9: Ten-Minute Jump Rope HIIT

Workouts don't need to be time-consuming or require expensive equipment to be effective. No Gym? No Problem! All you need is an inexpensive and portable JUMP ROPE!

  • 10 minutes of jumping at 120 turns per minute burns 150 calories.
  • 10 minutes of nonstop jumping at 120 turns per minute provides the same cardiovascular benefits as 30 minutes of jogging!

Stay tuned for next week's "FUGUE": It's awesome!

  2. I have bad knees and prefer to use a mini-trampoline. Do you think it provides similar intensity as the jump rope for these exercises?

  7. Cynthia, I jump rope instead of jog because of my knees. As long as I practice what Sara suggests about technique I’m not in any pain… Except for sore calves! 🙂
