## Jump Rope Workouts

The articles explain the thinking. The workouts are where you use it. Start with the level you have, scale the move or recovery when you need to, and get useful work done.

Equipment

## Why I Recommend Crossrope Weighted Jump Ropes

I only use and recommend Crossrope weighted jump ropes.

The added weight engages more muscle, demands more effort, and helps build strength beyond what you get from a standard lightweight rope.

It also slows each rotation, giving you better control and more time to develop rhythm, coordination, and proper form - with fewer trip-ups.
