10 Minute Jump Rope Cardio Workout

[@RareEmerauld86]

The major thing I really appreciate of your videos is that you have NO MUSIC. I know I may be weird, but I don't like music with my workouts because I like to either watch the tv or the news or pay attention to whatever. Your interval workouts are the BEST, especially for me since I'm a really last-minute person. I'm going to try to keep this up until I get my fitness back :D

[@QueenAilbhe]

I had to come here today instead of SP because for some reason my computer was being slow and the video kept stopping. WOW - when i first did this workout about 3 weeks ago, i'd find myself stopping when she announced 'half-way', this time i lasted the whole way through!! Woo hoo - thankyou sparkpeople!!

[@iheartcamp2]

Nicole, this was such a great workout! You're an enthusiastic and motivating coach. Thanks so much!

[@AutumnLove05]

This is my favorite work out out of all the cardio workouts :) I like it because it changes what you do all the time so it makes it fun and easy, not repetitive....I like doing this twice a day

[@gr8fulgilmore]

Simple, easy, not too long & discouraging Thanks again Nicole...You're so upbeat & encouraging...and the Best.

[@Angelagolfer]

I like the variety this workout provides. Jumping rope is an excellent way to get your heart rate up fast. Thanks SP!

[@annecc11]

I have been jumping rope for some time now so am really glad to see this organised work-out and will use it regularly. I hate jogging so find this high impact exercise just the job. Thanks.

[@handsomegrackle]

I like this workout. 5 stars. Because of this, I just went to sparkpeople and signed up. Seems like a very cool and helpful site. Good job Coach Nicole.

[@tgafa89]

very nice. not oo long & very encouragin everytime i would slow down i would hear jus a few more minutes!! loved it!! thankx nicole

[@Denzochan]

I find it's really good to listen to some music while doing this exercise it really helps me keep my timing with the jump rope!

[@deidrap1]

GREAT workout...looks simple but I couldn't get through the routine without messing up several times and couldn't do the one-leg jumps at all. Thanks for the video!!

[@gunplay596]

nice workout for people getting started. keep up the good work.

[@kingtruffelz]

nicole... Thanks for your help, I too found it hard to complete this workout at the start It is alot easier now. You are an encouraging teacher.

[@Psoewish]

Wonderful video. I actually didn't know the jumping rope was that good of a workout before so I always got stuck with jogging which I don't like doing at all, so I'd give up easily. I love doing this on the other hand, and it's something I'll be able to stick to very regularly.

[@hughes6784]

Great Quick Workout. Keeps your attention, gets your heartrate up, something I can use.

[@FrancisandLana]

great workout Coach Nicole! one of my favorites! Gets my heart going! Sparkpeople rocks!

[@msmb3003]

I just did this one following your 10 Minute Jump Start, I am definitely sweating now!!! Love it!!!

[@cinloykko]

this is sooo helpful!!! and i really like the coach's energy and personality. im going to start this regime ASAP

[@susango123]

This workout is great. I did this workout three times in a row. Thanks Coach Nicole.

[@FutureRN0019]

Great Video! Ur a great instructor!

[@janijannyjannie]

this was posted on my 11th birthday . ;) wew i'm doing cardio with jump ropes , easy and not so tiring , but i guess the marching thing is a good tip !! thanks !

[@Tricotine83]

I love it! Thanks, Nicole and Spark People! :-)

[@sparkpeople]

Exactly! As much as possible. Your abs will engage somewhat naturally to support your body while you jump, but it's always a good idea to be conscious of this, too, which will help you balance and stand taller as you work out.

[@OHWISEONE1996]

@Heeliumlaps Yeah! Great job keeping up the workouts, I admire you! And cardio isn't just for losing weight, infact it actually means heart workout. It is very good for you.

[@ESLteacher62]

Thanks so much! This is excellent! We appreciate your help!

[@zachpickett7]

awesome workout! so glad I found it

[@MailleQueen]

this workout is great!!! i love sparkpeople's videos :D

[@mobiusII]

Awesome! I'm going to start doing this routine every morning!

[@melmelmonster28]

This video was very helpful. It helps that I also love jump roping to beging with. Im 18years old, 5'1" at about 120lbs. How many times a week should I do this workout and how soon should I be able to see results.

[@ateeq1588]

AWESOME workout routine

[@pianovocal]

Great workout videos. Thank you for putting them on you tube. I would like to see a stretch in the beginning (after warm up). I appreciate that your videos are about 10 minutes long. Other work out videos I noticed are 2 minutes. Is there any way to get 30 minute or more work out videos :)

[@OHWISEONE1996]

@Heeliumlaps Yeah! Great job keeping up the workouts, I admire you!

[@griceldaamiga]

im doing this and 2 other videos from sparkpeole and this week i lost 4 pounds. im so happy. im 164.4 y my goal weigh is 125 or 130

[@aidengirl2626]

Great workout.

[@retth1]

Love it! It really helped me a lot. Thx.

[@sparkpeople]

@ekubalusabyan Yes. Intervals are what we're doing here. Typically resting intervals are longer though--but if it works for you, great!

[@flyzinha23]

I only could do 5 minutes of this exercise. I'm terribly out of shape. I'm 27 years old, 5'4 and 145 lbs and a mom. Doesn't sound bad I know.. but last time I exercised I was in high school (10 years ago). :P I'll keep doing as much as I can everyday though. Will not give up. And Nicole is a very good coach. I just follow her to exercise :)

[@Hikapika25]

This work out is great to lower my heart rate! I've been diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2 and lowering my blood pressure is some of the important thing I need to do! Thank you so much for helping figure out a good workout! I have one question though. How many time should I do this workout? I understand 10 mins but how many in a day? Also how many times in a week?

[@pianovocal]

great workout. Thank you for putting your videos on youtube. I would like to see a little stretching in the beginning, to protect from injury (after warm up). I appreciate that your workouts are about 10 minutes. I noticed a lot of other videos were not very long. Is there any way that there could be a 30 minute or more aerobic workout videos in the future :)

[@BananaOlivia]

Omg this is amazing it surprisingly wroked

[@freshdewdaily]

Outstanding thanks

[@xyndirit1]

This is what I do to warm-up. Works fast!

[@LuvMongrel]

You made it look so easy ^_^ I weight 150lbs & have never jumped rope before, am I too heavy to attempt the different jumping styles above? Will this give me bad knees?

[@anamikachauhan83]

Sparkpeople: How do i use your cardio and strength workouts in a wa y that i don't end up in a plateau? I mean working out everyday to this video won't work forever right? ho w do i shuffle? By the by, KILLER workouts! thank you!!

[@robert101455]

@TheWatcherAlias Doing it by reps is how I jump rope. If you're not used to jumping rope, you'll want to work up to longer sets (more reps per set), but at present I do 600 reps per set, and I do five sets. At the speed I jump, it takes me 4 minutes to do 600 jumps, and I rest for 60 seconds between reps. This works out to 20 minutes of total jumping per session.

[@nessynessychildofJC]

That's nice how many times did you do it each day?

[@anawnda]

wow this is fun! and do-able even if you're quite out of shape like i am :) thanks

[@sparkpeople]

@pOngeatz18 Check with your doctor first, but in general, exercise is great to help control hypertension.

[@SnakeCharmer07]

I do this 2-3 times in one set. then finish it off with the stretch. Best part I dont get tired of this exercise so I come back and do it few hours later.

[@Bumpers825]

thx, this is a great workout to get the heart rate up fast, and it's convenient too

[@EILEEN78]

HI THAT WAS GREAT! REFRESHING!

[@Ragnar0321]

wow this is nice i have one question tho..will jump rope make you loose belly fat?

[@yassmin1401]

Great Work Out ! :D

[@DAS-Videos]

Wow. How many jumps can you do in a row? Like the sound the jumping makes.

[@lsolate]

yes, biking is a great form of a cardiovascular workout

[@mooglely]

Ughh I'm dead! My dog was barking at me which made it hard to concentrate when correcting him! He gets crazy when I do home work outs! He must think I'm playing or teasing him! I will do this again!

[@bluewker]

Yeah, for anyone who's biking, if you want to get your heartrate up immediately, gear up to smallest ring in the front (labelled 1 on your shifter) and the biggest ring in the back (also labelled 1 on your rear shifter) and pump as hard as you can. make sure not to slip the pedals as it will come up and strike you in the shin. If you can go really hard for about 7s-10s your heartrate will probably max. Same with sprinting.

[@jumpropeclass]

Good Video!

[@utubehalowa19]

nice workout

[@sentracraze]

I do this one every mourning txs!!!! ;-)

[@AliceinPink89]

i love this workout=]

[@cHiKaDiNg58]

What do you mean when you say "keep the abs engaged?" is it the feeling when you do a "stomach in" as if you're buttoning a tight pants? and do you keep this position all through the workout?

[@sparkpeople]

@spacefruitful The variations are just for variety.

[@desharri]

great for when I only have 10 minutes of workout in me. I use weighted jump rope handles so it packs an extra punch for the arms.

[@3245911]

aerobics is a type of cardio. cario means cardiovascular, which means anything that gets your heart rate upis called cardio. eg. running, aerobics, jumping, cycling etc.

[@kaymaco]

ive actually heard that exercising while your menstral helps with pms and cramping!

[@sparkpeople]

@Gvnna18 Definitely!

[@yewshfk]

Very nice.

[@wiweq]

Thanks for the reply, but I wonder can we do jumping for 45 mins, I can do elliptical and treadmill for 45 mins and burn 700 Cal. How long I would need to jump to burn same cal?

[@raoulhery]

is jump roping really efficient!!?? I want to know if it could help me to improve in 10K!! people told me that it can help my resistance, is that true?? thanks in advance...

[@MEisJDP]

i play soccer will this help me at all with being able to last longer in the game?

[@bahamuth091]

can just you lay a THIN yoga mat into concrete and just jump on it using a good cross-training shoes and applying this routine to avoid any strains or pain ?

[@kuchizoundpollution5]

Hi, I have a question, i have a condromalacia injury , is the jump rope exercising too strong for me? or i can do it but not too fast?

[@saltcity100]

This workout is flawless you'll see results fast in just 10 mins a day do three times a week and you'll look and feel WONDERFUL.... Bishop Alyceia

[@hamnahamid]

hi i just joined the spark people. how mant time a week we should do this?

[@CheMarLi]

do we have to do this everyday?

[@bradg613]

Does jump roping improve endurance and feet quickness?

[@Disparatis18]

i have hypertension, is it ok to do this cardio workout? thnx

[@bboxqueen]

i got mines at walmart its called go fit and it came wit a cd too

[@hgurly]

i did like 2 days nd my legs r hurting...so wat should i do now?keep doing it or stop for couple days...plz i need ur advice....

[@dawnae75]

I tried to do this thinking it was easy..HA I was so sore (a good sore, meaning I was actually do something). I felt it all over. I will do the 10 minute workout until I can talk and jump rope like Coach Nicole and then I'll try it for 20 min.

[@marlarice]

what's the best type of shoe for this aerobic workout? I have New Balance 643. My feet be killing me.

[@KNighcturnal]

is this workout ideal for men too?

[@jlgarris83]

They have adjustable leather jump ropes at Wal-Mart for under 10 bucks. They are much better than the traditional woven ones.

[@pesh_562]

What if it hard to do back and forth and side to side?

[@RareEmerauld86]

SO TRUE!

[@agentslapshocker]

This also improves your vertical jump, right???

[@sparkpeople]

@PureSonShine Sure

[@maddie0106]

How do you measure what size jump rope you need? I am 5'9"1/2.

[@Lostbrains87]

How many calories would this exercise burn, approximately?

[@ChocolateLatte]

What's the difference between doing this twice in a row and doing this once, then doing it again later in the day?

[@gnarnia535251]

hey i have a question i already have a six pack and i run everyday 5 miles a day and my body isnt burning any fat i am losing my six pack what does that mean

[@jay733]

What kind of material is that rope, mine is too light.

[@sparkpeople]

Pull your belly in tight--that engages your abs for better balance and support while you exercise.

[@LocoYoFla]

jump roping would probably help you more in short-distance burst sprints.

[@Denya2k]

How did did u loose for far for 2 week everymorning?

[@Jroen888]

is jump rope a good way to get rid of belly fat?

[@hurtgrunt]

use jump rope for excellent cardio,it also builds core muscles

[@entrailsgalore]

Enough cardio will eventually help burn the fat covering your abs, with the help of a good diet of course. Your abs will be there and visible just not completely shredded without weight training. If you want flat abs little definitions cardio will work. But if you want shredded abs you need to do weight and ab workouts as well.

[@diego2329]

please, what´s this rope made of??
