SKIP REPLACEMENT

Craving a cardio workout but you can’t get out and run or ride? Reach for a skipping rope. Research shows that just 10 minutes of skipping can boost cardiovascular fitness as much as 30 mins of running. This bluetooth-enabled rope, the Smart Rope Rookie

(£49.95, apple.com), uses sensors in the handles to track your skipping count and calories. It also offers interval training recommendations.
