All About Rope Skipping

Along with hopscotch, rope skipping was probably among the most enjoyed outdoor games by young girls growing up. Now, you will find a lot of men getting into the act as skipping is an excellent way to work on your calf muscles, as well as speed and reflexes. It’s often used by boxers, wrestlers, football players, dancers and martial artists as a part of a training regimen. If you don’t think skipping helps your speed, think about this…the world skipping record is 108 skips, in 10 seconds, by a 64 year old man. It has become so popular that there are now rope skipping competitions for speed and style around the world. Rope skipping is also a great aerobic exercise and a way to stay fit and healthy. It’s a relatively inexpensive sport since all you need to enjoy it is a skipping rope.
