Although some might think that rope jumping is an activity for children, it is actually used by many adults, too, as a part of their exercise routine. Studies have shown that rope jumping is so effective that a 10 minute rope workout can burn as many calories as jogging at an eight-minute-per-mile pace. The skipping rope is one of the most widely used warm up equipment, but it’s especially associated with boxers. They use the ropes before they start punching the bags because the workout enables a good blood flow and warms up their muscles preventing a tear or a bruise later on.
