Containment training number 19

Videos are rife on social media during this period of confinement. Web influencers go wild to help you find or stay in shape. What if skipping rope is the solution?

Why didn't I think about it earlier? Jumping rope. When we talk about this instrument, we either see groups of young girls or sweaty boxers. But be aware that skipping rope is one of the activities that will work most of your muscles.

These days we have little space for sports. Going running is forbidden or even complicated, so we suggest you bring out this jump rope that you had hidden at the bottom of a drawer a few years ago.

To get back in shape or just to keep it, no need to spend hours on it. 15 minutes a day and you will get results quickly.

The practice of the jump rope allows you to work your muscles first. Refine the calves, build the thighs, abs, glutes, not to mention the pecs and arms. Doing 15 minutes a day of jump rope is like jogging for 30 minutes.

Then the breath. You will quickly realize that if you do not take a rhythm of breathing, you will not pass the 10 times. When you enter the last 5 minutes of training, keeping your breath short will be the most difficult task. Good work for difficult endings.

Finally, improving physical skills. Why do most professionals, all sports combined, practice rope jumping? Because it is practical to take away, yes, but also because in a short time each day, they develop coordination, synchronization, agility, and increase endurance.

The jump rope is the perfect activity to stay in shape in a tight space, gain balance, and have better body support.
