YOUR DAILY WORKOUT

Jumping rope is a great cardio exercise, builds muscle strength and feels like fun. Give it a shot

Single-leg jump: Stand straight with the rope behind you, handles gripped loosely with palms facing forward and arms comfortably close to your body. Lift your left leg and hold it behind you a little so you’re balanced only on the right leg, but comfortably. Swing the rope over and in front of you and jump

1 inch off the ground, so you land on toes of right foot before the rope touches left leg.

Repeat for 30 seconds, then switch legs.

Backward swing: Stand straight with the rope in front of you, handles gripped loosely with palms facing forward and arms comfortably close to your body. Swing the rope backwards and jump (about an inch above the ground) before it touches your legs. Repeat as many times as possible.

Boxer step: Stand straight with the rope behind you as before. Swing it over and in front of your body and jump as it passes under your legs. Land with left foot touching the floor first. On the next swing, land on the right foot first. Repeat as many times as possible.
