The Basic Workout Outline:

  1. Warm Up
  2. Stretch
  3. Aerobic or Strength Training
  4. Cool Down
  5. Stretch  

Jumping Rope:

Equipment:

  • Jump Rope
  • Appropriate footwear

Variations:

Low:

  • Double foot jump - Both feet take off from the ground slightly and land together.
  • Alternate foot jump - The "skipping technique" where feet are alternated up and down while the rope makes it’s revolution.

Moderate:

  • Alternate foot jump - The "skipping technique." (See above description.)
  • Running Step - A slight jog is incorporated while jumping/skipping over the rope. A slightly faster pace with increased intensity.
  • High Step - The moderate run with a high knee lift to increase intensity.

High:

  • Cross Step - While in the air during the jump phase, cross lower legs slightly and land with legs crossed.
  • Side to Side - Alternate landing areas from left to right. Use caution as getting familiar with where the rope might go may take time.

Muscle Groups:

  • Legs - Calves and Thighs                  
  • Abdomen
  • Chest
  • Shoulders
  • Back
  • Arms

Guidelines:

  • Use a floor surface that is even, nonabrasive and limits friction.
  • The length of the rope - when you step on the middle, the end sections of the rope should fit comfortably in the hands and reach the middle of the chest.
  • Remember to lift feet off floor just high enough for the rope to pass quickly.
  • Try not to jump high and land hard.
  • Keep shoulders relaxed and turn the rope with wrists.
  • Have patience. Start slow, then increase slowly.
  • Make sure to land on the padded portion or balls of the feet to avoid knee injuries.
  • This is an impact sport, so use caution with regard to your knees and ankles.

 

Aerobic Exercise Guidelines:

The following guidelines are based upon "The Recommended Quantity and Quality of Exercise for Developing and Maintaining Cardio respiratory and Muscular Fitness in Healthy Adults.

Mode: Aerobic Exercise

Frequency: 3-5 days per week

Duration: 20 to 60 minutes of continuous aerobic activity

Intensity:

            50 - 85% of maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 max), or

50-85% of Heart Rate Reserve or

60-90% of Maximal Heart Rate

· Low Intensity: 35-60% of Heart Rate Max or 50-60% of Heart Rate Reserve

· Moderate Intensity: 60-80% of Heart Rate Max or 60-70% of Heart Rate Reserve

· High Intensity: 80-90% of Heart Rate Max or 70-85% of Heart Rate Reserve

How to Determine Your Heart Rate Training Range:

1. Heart Rate Reserve: The Karvonen Formula

  • Find your Resting Heart Rate (RHR)

·   Find your Predicted Maximal Heart Rate (HR max)

·   HR max = 220 - age

·   Find your Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)

·   HRR = HR max - RHR

Find the lower limit of your Heart Rate Training Range:

·   Multiply your HRR by 50% and add your RHR

·   HRR x .50 + RHR = Low Target Heart Rate

Find the upper limit of your Heart Rate Training Range:

·   Multiply your HRR by 85% and add your RHR

·   HRR x .85 + RHR = High Target Heart Rate

2. Percent of Heart Rate Max:

·   Find your Predicted Maximum Heart Rate (HR max)

·   HR max = 220 - age

Find the lower limit of your Heart Rate Training Range

·   Low Target Heart Rate = HR max X .50

Find the upper limit of your Heart Rate Training Range

·   High Target Heart Rate = HR max X .90

Strength Training Guidelines:

The following guidelines are based upon "The Recommended Quantity and Quality of Exercise for Developing and Maintaining Cardio respiratory and Muscular Fitness in Healthy Adults.

·   Minimum of 8 - 10 exercises

·   Involve major muscle groups

·   Minimum of 2 times per week

·   Minimum of 1 set of 8 - 12 repetitions of each exercise

·   Resistance that results in "near fatigue"

Increase Your Physical Activity 

  • Find an activity you like such as Martial Arts, Baseball, Tennis, even if you are an adult, go out and play a game of tag with your children, do anything, just get active.
  • Participate in that activity at least 2 to 3 times a week.
  • Walk or Ride a bike, instead of driving when ever possible.
  • Take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator.
