PGX wants you to start jumping!
Today's Friday Fitness Trend: the Jump Rope!
Do you have fond memories of skipping with your friends using a jump rope? Well why not relive those memories and get your heart pumping. Using a jump rope can be a great cardio workout and, let's face it, way more fun than running nowhere on a treadmill! You may be pleasantly surprised to know that with a jump rope you can burn up to 600 calories an hour! That means if you jump for even just 20 minutes, you can burn up to 200. These numbers vary and depend on your pace.
Sound good? Check out this 15-minute jump rope routine from Real Simple.
Stay fit and don't forget your fiber!
