Build Your Bunnies! Two Week Jump Rope Workout
Jump rope is one of the best low impact ways to improve bounce, foot speed, and improve stamina. It is a common misconception that jump roping is hard on a person’s body. Because most people run heel to toe, jumping rope is actually easier on our joints because it forces us onto our mid-foot and our joints stay stacked over one another the entire time. In turn, this can assist in becoming a mid-foot runner, which is exceedingly better for your body than being a heel-striker.
